Re: Is self harming automatically considered an 'emergency'? - February 3rd 2021, 12:00 PM

Hey Violet,

I think it depends on how you look at it. It could be emergent or at least really important you're considering self-harm because it shows you're feeling badly enough to want to harm yourself even if the harm is non-suicidal. But, in the sense of the guidelines, self-harm might be more or less emergent depending on whether you need treatment for it.

Did you tell your therapist about how you're feeling? How did it go? You could always ask her more about those guidelines before you say anything specific.


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
