Self-harm is a challenging and deeply personal experience where someone intentionally hurts themselves as a way to cope with overwhelming emotions like sadness, anger, or hopelessness.
Sometimes people think that self-harm is just for attention or to manipulate others, but that’s not true. It’s a serious issue that comes from deep emotional pain and not knowing healthy ways to cope. It’s not about getting attention, but about trying to deal with really tough feelings in a harmful way.
