i feel like it'd be at least a step forward in destigmatising self harm if more people recognised just how many of their less than perfect lifestyle choices can be defined - and weaponised - as "self harming behaviours"

only having an iced coffee for breakfast? potentially self harming behaviour. regularly staying up late? potentially self harming behaviour. participating in any activity that involves a reasonable risk of physical injury? potentially self harming behaviour. getting body modifications like piercings, tattoos, or bleaching your hair in order to dye it? potentially self harming behaviour. making impulse purchases despite not being financially secure? potentially self harming behaviour. partaking in a mood altering substance like alcohol? potentially self harming behaviour.

of course, as long as you're allowed the dignity of being considered mentally stable enough to be adequately equipped to advocate for yourself, no one could reasonably object to your decisions on those grounds without sounding like a tyrannical authoritarian abuser. but if you aren't?

if you've never had "you could hurt yourself" used as a threat against your right to autonomy over your own body then i'm grateful it isn't something you've been taught to expect and factor into your decisions just to be allowed to retain that self determination without having it challenged
