If it's done so intentionally, and willingly, yes it counts as self harm. Seek help, there's still hope for you, you just have to try.

yes, whatever the element let it be, even when you beat up yourself with a rod that's self harm, harming or hurting yourself physically or mentally is considered as self- harm

Self-harm is the act of intentionally harming yourself, so yes, using acid to burn yourself counts as self harm - and is also extremely dangerous!

Yes, anything that is intentionally used to feel pain is considered self-harm. It is a hard addiction to get out of, but I know it can be done.

Of course it does! Anything that harms you and which you use to harm your own self is self harm. I even count talking to toxic people and being surrounded by negative people as self harm. And you DON'T self harm. You love yourself and you care for yourself.
