Re: Picking- Is it self harm? - February 28th 2014, 06:30 PM

Hey there!

To answer your question, any action done with the intention of hurting oneself is self-harm. You can find more information about this here.

As Jordan mentioned, identifying what stresses you out is key. One way that helps with this is to keep a journal. In it, keep the date, your feelings and the reasons for why you feel the way you do. Once you identify what stresses you out, you can take the next step which would be to work through your triggers.

I would also recommend talking to someone you trust and a professional about this so you can receive the help that you deserve.

Lastly, here is an alternative thread for you to check out when you're stressed.

Best of luck to you!


If clarity's in death, then why won't this die?
Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first


The axe forgets, but the tree remembers
