Stupid Question.

I know this is a stupid question and I know the answer is probobaly yes, but is digging your nails into your skin Self-injury?

[*..life in pain..*]

if you do it intentionaly to cause pain or to get the feeling you get when you self harm, yeah its self-injury.

[sweet_pain]

I agree with Irenek, if you are doing it purposfully, then it is self-injury

[Misunderstood.]

yes

That's how I started. What looks like kind of blotchy sun damage on my arms is scars.

Thats what I thought.
I began digging my nails into my skin when I was eleven and about 4-6 months after that I began cutting. And I haven't cut since January 7th due to the parents finding out. I just quit all together.
But I have started digging my nails into my skin deeper and deeper each time.
Will it scar as bad as the cuts?

[UnforgivableCrime]

When I do it it scars a lot worse than when I've cut, but it doesn't look like si scars, so it's easyer to lie about where they came from.
Take care xx

No question is ever stupid.
If you are deliberately doing it then yes.
There are many people who have begun like this
some stick to this method some progress into other methods.

But if you are deliberatley cause any kindof harm on yourself then yeah it is.
