In a way, yes. If you're doing it to cause yourself pain, it's self harm. Please don't try harming yourself, I'm sure things will clear up. Can't have sun without a little rain.

Self harm can mean anything from pulling out hair, cutting, and yes, scratching. You don't have to classify yourself as someone who "self harms", but know that this is detrimental to your body. Try to remember how great you are, and how much you deserve to be happy.

Yes, scratching does count as self harm, even though you don't bleed. Evevry form of hurting deliberately is self harm. The amount of pain or blood that you experience is not a requirement for self harm. The fact that you want or even have to hurt your self means that you self harm.

Yes, scratching is self harm! Any time a person intentionally brings pain upon their body, it is considered self harm, even if the damage does not bleed or is not visible.

On a personal level I did scratch as a form of self harm, although my bf says it is a form of self harm. Even when you do not bleed, you are still harming yourself to feel good.

Yes, it does. Even if you don't bleed, you are inflicting pain on yourself. You are still harming your skin.
