I need advice on the nature of my self-harm (or what I believe to be self-harm) and what I should do about it. I get angry very easily over some quite minor things, and often argue with my parents, who I otherwise get along with well. One of the most effective ways of dealing with my anger and calming down is self-harm. I don't break skin, but I bite my wrists, hit my head with my hands and against walls, use belts, scarfs etc to strangle myself, put antiseptic in my eyes, choke myself on water, and make myself vomit. I don't think I am depressed, however - I am feeling much happier than I have in the past, but my anger has always been problematic, and I often feel quite overwhelmed by my future and the possibility of failure. Also, I am very competitive, so school can get very stressful. I feel really scared that I'm going to fail at things, and that other people will laugh at me, and I'll never be able to achieve my goals because I'm not good enough. I really want to talk to someone about this, and what I think is self-harm, but I find it really hard to talk about to my friends and parents, who don't seem to understand. Self-harming makes me feel better, typically when I'm angry, but sometimes when I feel angry at myself.
Does anybody know someone I could talk to, or some way to deal with the self-harm?
