Listen Later

Examines forms of self-harm that are often overlooked because they don’t involve visible physical injury. It broadens the definition of self-harm to include behaviors people use as coping mechanisms for emotional pain, such as stress, loneliness, or low self-worth.
Examples of these behaviors include binge eating, not eating, negative self-talk, overworking or burnout, engaging in risky sexual activity, and using alcohol or drugs as an emotional escape. The passage emphasizes that while these actions may provide temporary relief, they can cause long-term harm.
It encourages recognizing these patterns and seeking healthier alternatives, such as journaling, reaching out for support, or prioritizing rest, with the goal of raising awareness and promoting initial steps toward self-care and recovery.
