Is someone who self harms also suicidal?

Good question! Not necessarily. In my experience, I self harmed to stay alive and cope with my emotions. Self harm is negative coping mechanism, When I was suicidal, I wanted to leave this earth and make the pain stop. So, generally the answer is no. However, my therapist told me that self harming increases the likelihood of experiencing suicidal ideation.

Not necessarily. Self harm is more of beating yourself up, while suicide is ending everything all together. While both sort of relate to each other, they are both two completely different things.

yes and no, someone can be suicidal if they self harm but normally this is NOT the case, if they show signs that they are suicidal you should try to ask them if they are ok :)

Every situation is different. I know people who have self harmed in the past, and haven’t thought about suicide. And I also know people who have done self harm before and attempted suicide.

No, although self harm is commonly thought to be linked with suicide. Often, self harm is used as a way to take control over ones life

From what i've seen, no. But it is very common among suicidal individuals to self harm. I suggest if you self harm, you get professional help.

No, most of the times people who self harm do it as a coping mechanism to make life more barable and actually want to live but are struggling with negative emotions and conditions varying from depression and borderline personality disorder to bipolar or eating disorders. Often these people have harsh ideas about themselves but want to live. People struggling with self harm often do so to escape emotional pain, to make themselves feel more real and more alive, because they simply enjoy physical pain, or because they want to punish themselves. Rarely, non-suicidal-self-harm can lead to near death experiences and can cause infections and can even lead to death but death was usually never the intention.
