When painful or difficult emotions threaten to overwhelm you, self-harm can offer a way to:
regain a sense of control
feel something when you’re otherwise numb
express or distract yourself from unwanted emotions
punish yourself
Still, while self-harm might offer some temporary relief, it also comes with plenty of risks:
If you cut too deeply or burn yourself severely, you might need immediate medical care.
You could feel guilty, embarrassed, or helpless later on.
Worrying what people think about self-harming behaviors can lead you to hesitate instead of reaching out for support that could make a difference.
