Is it healthy to hit myself/ slam my head against walls when I have anxiety attacks my parents think I’m faking being scared of almost everything Boy, 14, TellmiĬan exercise be self-harm? I’ve done 11 hours on the bike this week I’m in so much pain Boy, 18, Tellmi I am really confused, I think I self-harm, like I dig my nail into the side of my hand when I am really stressed and I had some kind of dissociative episode thing so instinctively smacked myself in the face with a glass bc- I’m a mess and it gives me some sort of relief, but I don't cut myself. Having a behaviour confirmed as self-harm by the Tellmi peer community allows boys to ‘name’ what they are doing.
