I know self-harm is often associated with depression, low self-esteem, desire to control something, and other things that are generally interpreted as being on the more negative side of life.

I was just wondering if anybody else has any experience of self-harm on the . . . well, not more positive, put perhaps higher side of life. I have been diagnosed with a mood disorder and as a result I experience highs and lows.

I find I self-harm frequently whilst I am in a more elevated state.

Does anyone else find this for themselves? Does anybody have any insight as to why this may be the case? I have always assumed that if a person feels like they're in a good space mentally, that they would be LESS likely to self-harm but for myself it doesn't seem to quite work like that?

Any responses would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
