Actually, self harm do not make you feel better. It's a really temporary thing, you feel like you forget everything that is wrong in your life and it makes you feel good for a while but then your problems came back and it seems even worse. There are plenty of better ways to feel better instead of self harming even if you don't believe in it now.
