Self harm is a way of expressing and dealing with deep distress and emotional pain with the result of guilt and shame. As awful as it might sound to those who don’t do it‚ hurting themselves makes them feel better. The only problem with self-harm is that it doesn’t last for very long. It’s like putting on a band aid when what you really need is stitches. The band aid stops the bleeding temporarilly but doesn’t fix the problem and creates its own .
