    Doesnt sound very comfortable. Just so understand- how does that make you feel?   As long as youre not intending to end your life by doing that - whether its "good" or not is up to you. Youre in control and have chioces:). 
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    I don't enjoy it. I panic sometimes n I don't know how to cope on my own. It's less visible to ppl. I sometimes lots of painkillers after.

    Understand can be form of expression. Is that something you want to stop or?  You dont have to stop self harming if thats not your aims in life. Thats your choice. But what you do after it sounds unsafe if you take more than recommended amount. 

    Are you recieveing support?

    Youre good at making the decision on wanting to stop and knowing what you want. 

    What things have helped you in the past or things that could be alternatives? If you can think of any
