yes, it does count. sh isnt only about having scars and bleeding. starving yourself, isolating yourself, purposely depriving yourself of sleep, abusing substances, it is all still self harm. if you want to hurt yourself and atleasr try to do it then it is self harm. if you wanna talk about anything, not even necessarily why you want to hurt yourself but just need a distraction, i often check my notifis so js tag me wherever if you do want to talk :)

@Paracetamol oh ok thanks, i js like... felt bad ig. all these people have it worse than me but im still hurting myself and ig i feel guilty...??? idk man its confusing lol

u shouldnt feel bad for doing it. i would describe sh as a coping mechanism, and even if you wouldnt say things for you are completely terrible, everyone has thier own way of de-stressing

@Paracetamol oh ur good man np. yk when ur like, rly upset and sad but like, cant cry? thats usually when i do it. it kinda feels like crying, at least in the emotional way. idk if im even making sense, i think im js being dramatic sometimes or smth

no, its ok. if you want, i could talk with you to help you find some healthier alternaives to sh.
