My Self Harm Experience
Is banging your head against a wall self harm, or hitting yourself? If so I have been self harming for quite awhile, it’s not as serious as some of my friends. There cuts run shallow against the legs, and they showed me once when drunk. One of my friends has this thing with symmetry they make a cut on one side and they have to make in on the other, how do I support them?
Might not look that "bad" but it's still self harm and it's serious nonetheless, I know it from experience. When I was younger, I had a meltdown so massive, I hit myself so hard that I injured my shoulder enough for it to have never recovered 100%. I'd tell you that the best way to help them is to advice them to seek professional help, that kind of self-harm can be the start of something much bigger and eventually fatal so... be a supportive friend and try to help them seek the help they need before it gets worst. Wish someone had done it when it was me.
