How do you know if you are a self harmer?

Answer 1

You will know you're a self harmer because you either actually hurt yourself on purpose to relieve stress or everytime you go near a knife or do something wrong in your life you will want to hurt yourself. I myself am not a self harmer, however, I get those feelings when you want to hurt yourself, to know what it feels like. If you really feel you need to hurt yourself, go and speak to somebody let your stress and emotions out in a way that doesn't hurt yourself. Many people have said it is addictive hurting yourself and that you should never do it, which I agree with, however it's your life and do what you want, but just remember that it won't solve your problems. I hope I have helped :)

Answer 2

You may be a self-harmer if you deliberately hurt or injure yourself as a way to cope with emotional distress or pain. Some common signs include frequent unexplained injuries, wearing long sleeves or pants even in warm weather to hide scars, and feeling a sense of relief or release after self-harming. It's important to seek help from a mental health professional if you suspect you are engaging in self-harming behavior.
