Self-harm may be used as a coping mechanism to deal with severe or extreme emotional disturbance or as a way to feel ‘something’ or exert control over oneself. The person may even get addicted to self-harm. It’s a complex matter that people without lived experience find difficult to comprehend. If you’re not yet able to stop or are struggling to stop without help, it’s important to seek support from a trained professional who can help with harm reduction strategies.
