@macaroli, as you know this type of self-injury is a harmful way to cope with emotional pain, sadness, anger and stress.
Self-injury may bring a brief sense of calm and a release of physical and emotional tension. However, some people find the release is usually followed by guilt and shame and the return of painful emotions. Is this the case for you?
Do you have a friend or family member who knows about your self-harm? Do you see a therapist to help find strategies to cope?
Sorry to hear that, I really don't have anything helpful to say but offering best wishes
