I don’t meant to play semantics, but I have a question.
I see self destruction/self-sabotage as a different construct from self-injury.
Similar, yes. Destruction/sabotage and injury are both harmful. And both equally not mentally sound.
Self-injury feels more like a coping mechanism.
Self-sabotage feels more like punishment.
When I see the word self-injury, I think of self mutilation, or direct physical harming—on purpose. And self-sabotage, I think of harming yourself in the big picture and of harming your psych—on purpose.
Am I way off, here? What do you all think?
