Escape thoughts driving to self-inflicting wounds

Escape thoughts driving to self-inflicting wounds;  

Any stress causing incident can generate a sense of dejection which at times can force even an ambitious person turn into a recluse choosing loneliness, isolation & staying indoors in search of sense of calm. The misery, sense of despair & worthlessness is so overwhelming that the individual starts thinking a lot recollecting painful memories of the past and is overpowered by thoughts driving him/her to opt for self-inflicting wounds. A strong social support & physical activity/sport helps the individual escape such thoughts. Resilience and mindfulness is what helps an individual fight & win over such thoughts with courage & hope, seek professional help.
