Rules for self-harm.

It has to leave a physical mark and it has to stay for at least a week or it’s not self harm. If you snap a rubber band to your wrist, it’s not self harm. If you don’t use a blade, it’s not self-harm. If you’re not physically bringing a blade across your skin, it’s not self harm. If you don’t cut your wrists, it’s not self-harm.

WARNING. The above is complete bullsh.t.

The thing that pi.sses me off most is when people make “rules” for what’s self-harm and what’s not. Like okay, just seriously, look at the word. Self-Harm. Harm you inflict on yourself purposely. That’s what it is.
If you scratch your legs purposely, it’s self-harm. If you use a rubber band, it’s self-harm. If you purposely burn yourself, it’s self harm. If you starve, it’s self-harm. If you use the point on a compass, it’s self-harm. If you make yourself throw-up, it’s self-harm. If you purposely harm yourself, it’s self-harm.
Stop dismissing people who are in mental pain because they don’t take a blade to their wrists. Just effing stop.
