Self-harm is not just cutting as it’s commonly known. It’s anything to harm oneself, such as cutting, hitting yourself, and burning. It’s a way to cope with a situation. ”Self-harm is different. It’s not from anxiety, but depression. The self-hatred, worthlessness, and desperation of depression fuels it. It makes that feeling of it all disappear for a brief moment, but only come back even worse,” Peyton Landolt said.
