self-harm

Exactly what it sounds like. A character deliberately hurting themselves, most commonly by using a sharp blade or claws to cut through the skin in multiple areas, usually to the point of bleeding. This is usually a symptom of a mental illness, but may be part of a ritual.

Usually seen in vent_art as a coping mechanism to actually self-harming in real life.

For scars that result from self-harm, see self-harm_scars

If you or someone you know have been experiencing thoughts of suicide or self-harm...

Please talk to someone.

There is someone out there who is willing to help you.
