Yes. Any purposely attempted or inflicted injury is SI.

P.S. If this helps, here is the definition of Self injury-

Self-injury, self-inflicted violence, self-injurious behavior or self-mutilation is defined as a deliberate, intentional injury to ones own body that causes tissue damage or leaves marks for more than a few minutes which is done to cope with an overwhelming or distressing situation.

Interesting..
Thanks.

yh anything that leaves a mark for over 2 hours inflicted by urself is classsred as self harm

also breaking bones dnt help ive tried it

Yeah, people will argue with me about this one until the cows come home, but if you are a self-harmer, don't kid yourself into thinking that you can replace self harming with Tattooing....because its just another form of harming yourself....just because you pay someone else to have it done and looks cool afterwards, doesn't mean that its not harming yourself

A less common form of SI is emotional abuse to one's self. They call it ESI. People that know nothing about it will say you are depressed or bipolar, but it is actually a form of SI it's just not spoken about as much because it's MUCH easier to hide from everyone.

Is it me, or does emotional self abuse sound much worse.

I bet a lot of us emotionally abuse ourselves without even realising, I think I do...

yes it is considered as si... i didn't even know that pick at ur finger nails is considered as an si!! wierd huh??? yea i read it in a book... i guess u can pick ur finger nail to the nerve or something and cause damege... i never knew that... i'm sure u can find it somewhere in on the enternet...
