Is it self harm?

I have been wondering lately is snapping a rubber band on my wrist a form of self harm? When I do it, it leaves a red mark. I have been doing it when I am really upset or anxious to calm me down.

Using a rubber band is less harmful than other forms. If you would like, this is an excellent source of helping you through self-harm behaviors and towards healing. studymore.org.uk/hylw.pdf
