Re: Is this self harm -

I think that yes, this would be self harm. Self harm can be described as anything that you do to yourself to inflict pain as a way of coping or handling what is going on around you. Since you are punching yourself, even without leaving bruises, you are using a means of physical pain to cope with what is going on, so it would be self harm.
This is a link to a list of alternatives to self harm, which are healthier, safer ways to cope with what is going on. I'd recommend trying some of these out, they're better. 
The sun is always gonna rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
