Back. Again...?

Hi guys, here I am. After 4 years from when I made a account and 2 years after I last posted on here, I'm back again. I don't know whether this is a bad or a good thing that I'm back. In the past 2 two years a LOT has happened, both good and bad. I don't want to go of into a rant of what happened but if anyone is wondering my inbox is open 😊 In the last couple weeks/months I have been having ups and downs and I just feel like I needed to come back here, for an escape, for advice, for someone to hear me out. Right now I have a lot of things going on in my head but I kept asking myself 2 things lately. I really need an answer or at least advice for these two things.

The first one is, what is classed as 'self-harm'?? Everyone has different opinions and I just want to know yours.

The second thing is, is digging your nails into your palm 'normal' when you're nervous/anxious?

I really hope someone will be able to help.

I would say self-harm is when you cut or try to physcially harm yourself. I have never tried these things. I am only sharing how I feel about this issue. I know that you had a reason for coming back to this support group. Life has been rough lately for you I see. I would say by digging your nails into your palms is anxiety. I think this support group is helpful for me. Maybe by coming back here will help you with some issues. We all have issues here. We would not be here on this website if not. Keep in touch. We want to help.
