Self harming is something that no one should have to deal with. Unfortunately, it is misunderstood by some people, and it is simply not a matter of just “stopping.” Self-harm comes from a place of darkness and it is usually paired with a mental illness, which is still looked down upon in our society. With stars like Demi Lovato speaking out about it, more and more people are understanding that mental disorders and self-harm are things that can happen to anyone and they do not make a person worth less.

We hope that this list sheds some light on this topic. Celebrities are not the only ones who suffer from self-harm. The good news is that there is help out there.
20. Megan Fox
It looks like even hot women like Megan Fox have their insecurities, maybe even more. After all, it is a dog-eat-dog world in Hollywood. Megan Fox revealed that she used to engage in self-harming, but hopefully that is all behind her now. Her poor sense of self left her feeling extremely insecure and that appearances held a lot of importance for her. It led to a ton of self-loathing which manifested in trying to control the situation through self-harm. We all know that those actions are quite the opposite of being in control. This revelation came as a shock considering that Fox always looks so confident and in command.
19. Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp was once quoted as saying that he felt just like he did when he was 17 years old. Um, if that is the case, then we really do not want to imagine what he feels like. What an insecure thing, being a teenager. Apparently it left Depp feeling the same way, and he admitted that some of the scars on his body are from self-inflicted injuries. He compares his body to a journal: the tattoos and scars are reminders of what he has gone through in life and they keep him centered. Wow, now that is deep.
