Self-harm is when somebody intentionally damages or injures their body.
It is usually a way of coping with or expressing overwhelming emotional distress.
Sometimes, when people self-harm, they feel on some level that they intend to die.
More than half of people who die by suicide have a history of self-harm.
But, the intention is more often to punish themselves, express their distress, or relieve unbearable tension.
Sometimes it is a mixture of all three elements.
Self-harm can also be a cry for help.
