Self-harm by definition is causing injury to yourself without the intention of trying to end your life. Any injury to yourself however, can cause more harm than initially intended, and there is the possibility that a person could unintentionally kill themselves by self-harming.

Self-harm is really a very broad term, which encompasses a number of actions, and behaviors. In short though, yes one can die from self-harm. However, there are many ways to prevent this tragedy from happening. With self-harm that involves a physical component. We have to remember that even if we are not intending to cause serious damage, or death. It is always a possibility with even very minor injuries. The likelihood is, of course, usually small. Still, it is a possibility, so we need to be as careful as possible. Typically, if I had a patient coming to me, that was self-harming in this way, such as cutting. I would first begin to try and address the root cause of the behavior. However, I would also give them some wound care and first aid suggestions on how better to care for the cuts. Of course self-harm is an unhealthy behavior, but it is still a coping mechanism. It is very, very unlikely that the person would be able to stop after one visit. This is why it is important to make sure that they know how to properly care for the wounds, and how to avoid possible infections or other issues associated with this type of behavior.

Yes. There is always a risk. It is often like playing Russian Roulette With your life. One wrong move that is all it takes. Take care and Look after yourself!, Don't let things get you down like this, You are beautiful and don't need to harm yourself

Yes, if you go too deep, you can die. It is uncommon, but that is why it is so important for you to get help and recover from self harm. There are many other ways to deal/cope with emotions and problems.

Inevitably, self-harm can kill you. I mean, sometimes we think that having a drink here and there won't do anything, but if we drink on an everyday basis, it is very likely we are damaging our liver or internal organs to the point where they can not be fixed. I feel as though no matter the method of self-harm, sooner or later, it will inevitably lead to death, even if it is by accident. Don't take chances, darling! If you are self-harming, please do take the time to seek help.

Yes. It may sounds crazy or like it would never happen to you but it totally could. If you happen to cut too deep you could hit a vain.
