Does self-harm cause more problems than you are already dealing with?

Self-harming does lead to more mental health issues. You are abusing yourself so it does have consequences. Even after you stop self-harming you will most likely always have a physical reminder of what you went through and potentially have to explain to others.

Self-harm is never a solution. There is always a way to solve the problems, the trick is to keep a positive mind and have faith in yourself.

Yes it actually does, when you cause yourself harm you are telling yourself that hurting yourself is the answer to your problems but it isn't and you will finally end up hurting yourself for attention and it cause really bad things to come to yourself

In almost every single case it does! Selfharm creates a lot of additional stress in your life because instead of just having a problem or negative feelings to deal with and worry about, you also have to worry about caring for your wounds, preventing infection, keeping them hidden (if you don't want certain people to know about them) hiding your selfharm tools...it creates a lot of worry and paranoia and stress about people finding out or you accidentally causing very bad damage to yourself. (Which is much easier to do than most people think!) Selfharm can also drive a wedge between you and the people you care about because it will likely cause you to lie to them.

Short-term it can feel like it helps, however in the long run it can cause more hurt and pain especially looking back on it can be triggering aswell.

Yes. Self harm makes you have to think of ways to hide your cuts, deal with the pride you lost, the relations with your family and friends, the dissapointment look people give you when they see all the action.

Yes, it does. It will cause many more problems in the long run, and although it may seem like a good decision at the time, it's truly not.

Yes, in many ways self harm causes more anxiety and other issues. For example, you have to worry about hiding the scars, and then you start to feel worse about self harming. So it's better to talk or redirect thoughts.

In the moment it can feel like a relief but you will later regret it because the scars will remind you all the time of the memory that you would like to forget in the future

If you ask me, yes. I understand the appeal of cutting and self harm, but in the end it will hurt you bad. You don't wanna hurt yourself for a tiny rush. Get help today.
