Welts

[Bath]

Recently I've been giving myself welts by dragging a dull kitchen knife hard enough to break just a bit of skin, a good scrape. It doesn't draw blood, but raises the skin for a good day or so afterward.

I haven't had my blades to cut with, mom took them away.

Would this be considered self harming?

Alas, it would. You're doing it to relieve the emotions, and it causes you harm.

Yes it would because your still harming your body..just in a different way. You dont have to draw blood for it to be self harm
