Question is it? - May 26th 2010, 09:19 PM

I just watched the video on self-harm and was wondering if picking your scabs subcontously is self-harm or not? Please help me out.

It really depends. Some people pick their scabs out of habit but some people do it intentionally in order to inflict more pain to the wound. If you are do it to intentionally hurt yourself than it would be considered self harm. However if you have no intention to hurt yourself and you just do it sometimes then I don't think it counts. But, picking scabs is not the greatest thing to do. If you do it out of nervousness or whatever I would suggest that when you notice you are doing it to try and stop yourself.

Hope this helped.

There could never be amore beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguisesandhoops they make you jump through
You were made tofill a purposethat only you could do
So there could never be amore beautiful you
-Johnny Diaz


Everyday
is so wonderful
And suddenly it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, I feel so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?

'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
-Christina Aguilera

I don't think it's Self harm if you do it subconsciously.


So much for that idea ...
