Especially the ones less visible to identify, these can be as significant. You are correct about the media too. It promotes a sensationalized version that excludes many forms of self-harming expression.

Worth noting, many people find a healing path from self-harm towards self-care. CPTSD Foundation provides many resources and groups that support health. No person needs to live in suffering when supportive guidance is available!

Thank you again, Harjo, for sharing your valuable insights!

Skin picking, excessive hair tweezing, etc, these may not always leave scars but they are still self-harm.
