Self-harm can be a response to distress and is not specific to PTSD.
While self-harm is a very personal and sensitive issue, "Blueberries" is able to approach it in a manner that is both creative and sensitive. With its upbeat tempo and lively delivery, "Blueberries" highlights the contradictory nature of self-harm - a behavior that can serve as a coping mechanism and as a source of further pain.
