Is scratching yourself self harm?

Question

Answer

If you do it with the intent of harming yourself yes. It’s not a good coping mechanism to stop from cutting or any other self harm. Self harm is a very difficult thing to recover from and has taken me literal years. Just because I wasn’t cutting didn’t mean I wasn’t self harming in other ways. It doesn’t make it any less of a destructive behavior.

Answer

Purposely hurting yourself in any way is self harm.

Answer

It definitely depends on the situation, I know that was one of my many forms of self harm before I got better.
