10. Self-Harm
Self-harm or self-injury refers to intentionally injuring oneself. Cutting using a sharp instrument is a frequent procedure. Self-harm, on the other hand, is defined as when someone intentionally harms themselves.
Self-injury—or the threat of self-injury—is a typical symptom of emotional distress in people with BPD. It also creates embarrassment. Scars from regular cutting or burning can last a lifetime. When you drink or use drugs while harming yourself, you increase your chances of suffering a more serious injury than you anticipated. It also takes time and energy away from other important things in your life.
