Nhs is wrong about the definition of Deliberate Self Harm

"i self harm and it is not a suicide attempt. maybe the NHS should get people who have been through self harm to define what it is, rather tham jumped up proffesionels who know nothing about it!!"

"suicide and attempted suicide, are a FAR cry from deliberate selfharm."

"if someone wanted to commit suicide, they would commit it. i have NEVER thought of commiting it, and yet have harmed. it is a way of coping, and in some cases, a way of easing depression which if aloud to build up can drive people to commit suicide. Shame"

"I self harm and i was disgusted with the definition as it is a far cry from the truth"
