Can’t stop self harming

It’s getting worse. I’ve been to minor injuries twice in the last fortnight. It stops me doing something worse.
I regret it afterwards because it really really hurts and is leaving me with scars all over my arms. I’ve moved to using my stomach now because it’ll be t shirt weather soon. I burn rather than cut.
I don’t know how to stop.

Sorry things are so hard right now.

Are you under a mental health team? I have no magic answers - I have self harmed for almost twenty years - so I know how awful it can be.

Are you harming in the safest possible way? I know it probably sounds silly but if you are in crisis harm reduction might be the aim at this point .
