JAPAN A mentally ill Japanese teen posts on social media under the nickname @_infinity_xxx how she self-harms. Sometimes her friend joins in. She is not afraid to completely cut her hand with a razor blade or burn herself with cigarettes.
If you're thinking about self-harm, please stop and recognize that this won't solve the pain you're feeling. While it might seem like a way to cope, it leaves lasting scars, not just on your body but on your heart as well. There are healthier, safer ways to manage your emotions.
Every wound you inflict is a cry for help. You are not alone. Reaching out to someone you trust can be the first step toward finding a way out of this dark place. You deserve kindness, support, and real healing.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
