I would say it is. Any form of hurting yourself on purpose counts as self-harm. What makes you do that? Is for the lack of control over something in your life?
It's ok. There are many other people who has their own reasons to self-harm. Know that self-harm it's the symptom of something else.

Anything that you do intentionally on multiple occasions to hurt yourself is considered self-harm. It's important that you stop before you get started. Once you do it, you will become addicted and it will seriously damage your health.
