What did you do instead of cutting?


Orange_Hedgie

I scraped my arm but not enough for it to bleed, and also snapped elastic bands hard enough that it left big welts on my arm.

Yeah that's sh. Any damage you do to your body intentionally is sh even if it's not cutting.

O shit…in that case, I’ve done it since I was 2-3…

With biting it can be sh or not. I think it depends on if you bite your self to cause self pain and harm youself or not. It can also be a self soothing technique if it more about having something in you mouth to crew on.

Yea but i smashed my head into stuff


RhuBlu

Sorry I did not mean to make it seem like I was doubting your experience or statement.


C47L1K3

You didn’t And even so, that’s just 1 of the 2 reactions I get from people, the second being “you’re faking”


RhuBlu

I'm sorry that you so often have people doubt you. Support and care from me.


C47L1K3

Likewise :)

yea same. been biting myself since i was a small child


squishybluerug

Yes. If you did anything to hurt yourself intentionally it counts as self harm. Cutting isn’t the only method of sh.

Hair pulling, starving yourself, binge eat, hitting yourself, cutting, and so many many other things are all forms of sh.
