Yes, Very much.
Using acid to burn yourself does count as self-harm. If you intentionally do something in order to hurt yourself is considered self-harm.

Yes, it is still inflicting pain upon yourself and not good for you. When you feel like doing that, try and think of things that make you feel happy and worthy.

Anything that causes damage to yourself is classed as self harm. If you are having these thoughts to use acid, professional help as well as alternative coping mechanisms or even talking to a listener here is a step towards a more positive, healthy lifestyle.

Yes. Any type of physical harm to yourself is characterized as self harm. If you are considering help I strongly suggest you talk to someone or call the national suicide and self harm prevention line!

Yes, purposely harming yourself in any way 'counts' as self-harm and should be talked about with a professional.

Yes, that does count, and please go get that treated. Placing any type of harm to your body meaning intentionally getting sick to setting yourself on fire is all self harm
