Self-Harm
Self-harm refers to the deliberate act of causing physical pain or injury to oneself as a way of coping with emotional pain, stress, or feelings of numbness. It is often used as a temporary means to relieve intense feelings of anger, sadness, or frustration, but it does not provide long-term relief.
