Is someone who self harms also suicidal?

...read more
Not always. Some people are, but that doesn't mean everyone is. Sometimes a person self-harms as a way of coping with the difficult situations in life. That doesn't mean they are suicidal. But, self-harm is not a good thing. If someone self-harms, it is extremely dangerous whether they are suicidal or not. They need help right away.

Not necessarily. Maybe. They say that when someone self harms, they have no intentions of committing suicide. Some people are but not everyone is.

There are two possibilities. One is that the person who self harms is not suicidal and that he/she only does it to ease the emotional pain. The second possibility is that he/she is suicidal and turned to self-harm as a means of buying time to decide their next move.

People who self harm can be suicidal, but that's not always the case. Some people use it as a relief and have so intention to commit suicide.

Not always! People self harm for various reasons, sometimes because they're suicidal. Other reasons could be that it gives them control over a situation when they feel they have none.

Not always. Just because you self harm doesn't mean you are suicidal but some people are both. You can be really depressed and self harm but know there is a place for you and you don't want to consider suicide

Not all the time. I used to self harm just to 'get the pain away' but I wasn't suicidal at all. I just thought that cutting would be the best way to stop the pain rather than trying to kill myself.

Not necessarily, no. Someone can have the feeling of wanting to hurt themself but no really want to die. they may just want to feel something.
