Exactly - this is for all forms of self infliction. and there are many. My worst form is cutting, but I also pull hair occasionally, bite the insides of my mouth often until they bleed, binge eat and drink, force myself to stay cold and not turn on the heat, force myself not to sleep... those are more unique - but it is anything that is used in a punishing sort of way that is harmful.

I suppose more people tend to commonly associate self infliction with 'cutting'; I'm not a fan of that term, TBH. Before this site, I was more aware of the alternate acronym SH, which means self-harm. Both of these lables essentially, by definiton and this context, mean the same thing.
I say this for the simple reason that nobody should feel weird or out-of-place for desiring support for a form of SI that people here may be unfamiliar with. For example, a form of SI for me, is to workout too much, too hard, pulling muscles perhaps and generally wrecking myself. I've only just recently accepted that, regardless of the how unique it appears to be within this area of the forum. If you have problems with any form of SI, then this should be the sort of place you can go.
