Hey
Welcome to TH.
Self-harm is anything you do on purpose to hurt yourself. Snapping a rubber band on your wrist is used as a tool for people to stop cutting or self-harming, but the way you are doing it is considered as self-harm since you do it so hard to leave bruises. Pinching yourself is also self-harm. As for cutting with a razor that is really dangerous and can lead to you self-harming a lot worse.
I know it feels good and helps in the moment but a couple minutes later you usually feel guilty. I think you should talk to someone about this like a parent, or teacher so you can get the help you need. In the mean time I think you should look at THIS forum which is alternatives to self-harm.
If you ever need to talk I am just a PM/VM away
Your Friend,
