To me... the experiences you describe sound similar to what many, if not most, individuals who self harm experience (including yours truly)... not that that's of any help. Here are links to 4 articles, from PC's archives, that talk about self-harm, why people do it & how it is treated:

Cutting and Self-Injury

The Psychology of Cutting: The reasoning behind self-mutilation

A Brief Guide to Self-Harm and Unhealed Childhood Trauma | The Psychology of Self

How to Stop Punishing Yourself

Best wishes...
