Does using acid to burn yourself count as self-harm?

I’d like to say first off that I’m so genuinely sorry that you’re feeling the need to self-harm. What is considered self-harm—particularly physical self-harm has a wide variety of methods that can be unique to each individual. Examples of physical self-harm includes anything that can or will cause anywhere from mild to moderate harm to your body. Methods of physical self-harm includes activities such as pulling out your own hair, cutting, scratching until you bleed, etc. This would also include using acid to burn yourself.
