Could it be strange to have to urge to self harm, yet nothing extremely bad has happened recently?

If you regularly: Engage in self- mutilation it may have become a habit for you. People may self-harm related to feeling empty or bored - it is not always related to negative life events. Encourage you to look into dialectical behavioral therapy (a form of cognitive behavioral therapy). Take care.
