I used to self harm a lot. When I get the tendencies and urges now I was my hands in super hot water for as long as I can stand it. It's super uncomfortable and painful but generally doesn't actually harm me. It tapers off the urges to harm myself because in a way I'm feeling self inflicted pain
Why do you feel you would harm yourself? What are the reasons?
I do it to release the tension and stress.
It is good to seek mental help for harming yourself. There are medical complications that might arise if you continue to do this behavior.
I know but this is how I feel I can cope best.
Scalding hot water is still harmful. Please talk to someone you trust when you start to feel overwhelmed. If you close yourself off you isolate your suffering.
