Scratching vs. Cutting -
October 5th 2011, 09:46 PM
This thread has been labeled as triggering by the original poster or by a Moderator. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.
Okay, this should be my last SH-related post for a while, sorry to bother you all, but I have a question. I know what cutting is, of course, but is scratching yourself (say, with a thumbtack) to the point that you bleed a tiny bit considered scratching still because it's not actually bleeding that much or would it be considered cutting because you bled? I feel like I'm stupid for having to ask, sorry! xP

It's still a form of self-harm, since you're intentionally hurting yourself.

Yeah, I know, but I'm just trying to figure out how to classify it, cutting or scratching? I'd think scratching but...

I would concider it scratching because your not bleeding a lot and its not an actual cut.

Thanks! LOL, it's based on the "House" character, though it works well since that's my favourite number, as well as the day my birthday is on.

I'd think scratching too.
Oooo, House!! Man, I really miss that show...to bad I don't have great reception here...I haven't watched House in about a year or more, it's been ages...Can someone PM or VM me and fill me in on the details? lol, if someone took the time to do that I don't know how I'd thank them...
"i don't care your intentions. I just want you to know my self-hatred never took me where I wanted to go. At the end of the day...I can pick at the pain but I can't cut it away."
