when i want to do sf my heart starts beating really fast and when i do it i feel so much pressure in my hands or legs, they even start to shake a lil bit. what does it mean? excitement? or fear? how do you cope with that?

it's not because of excitement but, because of fear and anxiety that occurres when you harm yourself. stressful emotions such as anxiety and fear can cause a person's heart rate to increase. it happens because of our brain's response to the situation, it releases a large amount of adrenaline(a hormone) which makes our heart beat faster.
thank you for sharing, dealing with self harm is always difficult.
i hope things get better for you, stay safe.
