Self harm is the process when a person injuring or poisoning himself, doing imself harm this way, because he wants too. Many times the person has suicidal intentions, that’s why he is self harming. Usually these persons like to cut themselve (usually in the arm), burn themsleves or eat dangerous substances like medications, because they are trying to poisone themselves.
The most of the times, the persons that self harm are young peoples under 25 years old, but also gay and bisexual people. The evidences show that in most cases women tend to self harm themselves more, and usually all the people that try this technique are addicts, alcohol addicts or weeds addicts. All of these persons have lew or none self esteem, so they choose to injur themselves. Some of the women that poisoned themselves were actually pregnant and they didn’t want the baby. Other people have different problems, like they are abused (for example sexual abused) or the young teenagers most common problem is that thier parents are getting thru a divorce. For older people, they may suffer because they have problems in their relantionship, they have problems with the money, they are physical abused or suffer from anxiety.
This persons feel that they have too musch tension inside them, so they want to break free by releasing the tension. Their method is to cut themselves, to bleed. It is supposed that the bllod makes them feel good. The ones that are addicted may feel numb, because many weed addictive persons have declared they felt like that. So they chose to make themselves harm to feel pain, and this way ti feel that they are alive again. Maybe we don’t understand it, but this is their way of thinking.
The women the are pregnant feel guilt, so they will rather do something to release the feeling of shame. They fear about the way they will be viewed by the other people. Some od the people that use to self harm have different problems but don’t have the power to comunicate with the others: so this is the way they panhandle for help, or for atention from their family and friends, so they could notice that something is wrong with the specific person.
The truth is that most of the people that decide to self harm themselves actually want to kill themselves, but maybe somewhere in the process they notice that they are doing something wrong.
