I don't cut and never will. I'm a wimp and I don't want people to see scars and laugh at me.

But sometimes when I feel the inner tension of feelings rising, I dig my fingernails into my skin...usually my hand, forearm, or thigh...hard enough so that it leaves an indent in my skin, that usually disappears within anywhere from 5-10 minutes. I'm a wimp for not hurting myself hard enough. i know. But does that work?
I also grab my hair at the roots and tighten my fist until I feel it pulling.

Is this considered self harm? And if it is...will it work (like releasing whatever hormones it releases and makes you feel better)? Or is that just in my head..
