I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again:
SELF-HARM:
the intentional, direct injuring of ones own body, done WITHOUT THE INTENT OF SUICIDE
DEPRESSION:
feelings of severe despondency and dejection
SUICIDE:
the action of killing oneself intentionally
SELF-HATRED/SELF-LOATHING:
intense dislike of oneself
Maybe some people self harm with the intent of suicide, but please don’t assume all people do. I’ve seen this in WAY too many stories and I haven’t seen a single one that just has a cutter who doesn’t WANT to die. I’m sorry I wasted your time with this, but it’s just an issue I see too much of in other people’s stories. Not to shame on anyone’s stories, of course. Maybe they just want to write their characters like that, and if you do write like that, I’ll still support y’all. I just needed to address this issue.
Peace out ✌️
