When I'm depressed or get to the point I can''t take it anymore. I'll like take something and just scrape my arm to where its all red looking. I don't know if this is still considered or even in the same boat as cutting?

it's the same principle, even if you don't take it to such an extreme.
you should try and break that habit in case you feel an urge to go further.

It's not the same as cutting.

It's still self harm.

I think the person is implying that if you cut yourself you're only doing it for the attention. Since you're scratching your arms, and not showing cuts for the world to see, you have real problems to deal with, not just stereotypical cutter problems. I could be wrong though. If you ever need help with anything you can PM me.

I love how people who draw blood only do it for attention.

Stereotypes are a wonderful thing aren't they?

It is still called self injury. Self injury covers a very, very broad list of things. It can be anything from puncturing your skin, burning yourself, and even eating disorders.

like everyone says it's self injury, because you are purposely inflicting damage to yourself. Different from self mutilation which is the extreme form of self injury, at a point where you are doing horendous acts of self injury to the point of permanent scarring or burning, etc.
