Self harm isn’t always what you think. It’s not only razor blades and wrists and thighs. Sometimes it’s punching things so you can feel bruises. Sometimes it’s drinking until you can’t feel a thing. Sometimes it’s isolating and ignoring people you need. Sometimes it’s wrecklessly playing with an animal so you can feel the scratches and bites. Sometimes it’s excessive scratching. Self harm isn’t just some emo kid with cuts on their wrists, it’s so much more. Because people only see it like this, sometimes you dont even recognize that you are self harming until it’s too late. Until your hand is broken. Until you have to get your stomach pumped. Until people give up on even trying with you. Until you need stitches from the bite. Until you have skin between your nails. Please recognize self harm. Don’t let it go ignored.
