One word for self harm

This is kind of a vague question, but I'm sort of curious.
If you had to call self harm something in one word, what would you call it?
So far I'm at "conditional" "destructive" and "binding". thoughts?

Hmmm thats a hard one, the first word that came to mind for me was "destructive" but my others are "release", "escape", "a trap".

It is hard to narrow it down. Maybe 'addictive'.



If you spoke to other people the way you speak to yourself, how many friends would you have?
Be kind to yourself.

Yeah "addictive" is another one I just though of.

For me right now?

'Ineffective'.

It's a blessing and a curse, I suppose.

I dissociate quite a bit when I self harm, so I don't remember much if any of it, so I often think of it as: 'magic' (I think referring to it in this way reduces the impact and severity of it for me), 'Consuming' (as said above), 'crippling', 'petrifying'



Here's the day you hoped would never come,
Don't feed me violins, just run with me
through rows of speeding cars.
21 on the run, on the run, on the run
From myself, from myself and everyone
I better leave the light on
The darkness, The sweetness, The sadness, The weakness,
O, I need this
Hi, I'm Roli Take Care, Stay Safe, Shout if you need anything

I sometimes think of self harm like an abusive partner: you know it's bad for you but you can't stop.

The blessing and curse thing is completely true - so I'd say a curse, or soul-destroying to be all emotional about it. It really wouldn't be on my list of things to recommend so...



Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world. All things can be mended. Not with time, as they say, but with intention. So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally. The broken world awaits in darkness for the light that is you.
