Even sitting here before sleep is getting harder by the second. Sleep come quickly!

I understand that feeling of not being able to trust yourself - it's why I initially began therapy in the first place. What makes you think that whatever act you are engaging in is not a form of self injury? In my opinion, any act, regardless of degree, intended to hurt ones self classifies as self injury.
One thing I do is prick my fingers. Does it bleed/hurt? Yes. Will it kill me? No. Will it bleed more than a few seconds? No. Will it even leave a scar? Not always. Does it still count as a form of self injury? Yup.
I don't think you should invalidate your actions/feelings; there will be plenty of other people in life who will want to do that for you anyways. I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time but i'd advise you not to attempt anything more drastic as you suggest; it's a bit of a slippery slope honestly.
