Can I die from self harm?

There have been very few deaths due to self harm compared to how many people actually self harm. Deaths that do occur from self harm more than likely are a result of having suicidal thoughts. The main risk with self harm is that if you cut yourself too deep, or nick a blood vessel,in which case you can bleed to death if the bleeding isn`t controlled, but the likelihood of this happening is low. Other methods of self harm, such as bruising, burning, and scratching can`t really result in any major harm, but this does not make them anymore serious. If you are self-harming, it`s important to understand that you can get help and find different ways of coping, you can always speak to a listener like myself, have a look at the self-help guides or join a group chat.

Yes, if you cut a major vein, it is possible to start bleeding no stop, this might lead to too much of blood lose and death

You could. It's a serious thing and if you do it, you could die. Self harm isn't the only way out of a bad situation! Never forget that.

Yes, if you get your cuts infected or cut too deep. Seek medical attention of you feel something is wrong.

Well, yes. It does depend on the way of self harm but it can be fatal in direct or indirect ways. If we see cutting, yes then it can be quite dangerous, since you may cut too deep or cut at an important vein. Choking or hitting oneself can be fatal as well. Except for those, scratching, burning and other forms can be harmful as well, as they don't exactly impact you to a great extent physically as much as they do mentally. They can increase fear, stress, depression which have been in the past proven to be fatal. Remember, hurting yourself is never the answer!

Yes, you can die from self harm, because you could cut yourself deep or hurt yourself a lot.

this runs contrary to the goal of self-harm, i.e pain in the moment. Let's imagine how much it takes to die from bleeding out. Common sense tells us that at least a few litres of blood is required to even get close to death. And given how wounds cauterize within a few minutes, this becomes an increasingly hard way to kill yourself. I guess if the dramatic effect is that important, it's a free country so we're allowed to do that in my opinion. I'd love to hear any feedback on this topic as I'm fond of knowledge to a fault.

There's always a risk, if an artery is damaged and/or end up losing too much blood, it can cause complications and result in death, There are also some infections that can cause health issues.

Yes, whether accidental or not. It's quite common, when experiencing increased emotions, to not realise how much harm you are doing, and go over.

Yes you can die if you aren't careful - you could damage important organs, arteries or other parts of your body. It destroys your emotional and psychological state, which puts you at risk of permanently damaging yourself.
