Self-destructive behaviour can be anything that is negative to yourself, not just physically, but socially, emotionally, mentally, spiritually... The most obvious are self harming and suicidal behaviour, but as the criteria says, it can be reckless spending, substance abuse, binge eating...
For example, although I haven't self-harmed in six months I am still continuing with my self-destructive behaviour, which for me would be substance abuse (to an extent you wouldn't believe), my eating going all over the place, having sex with ex, and doing really stupid things like taking pictures of myself on a train line and other really stupid things.
