Is there any way i can address my self harm issues without going to see a professional?

It depends: Professionals are there to assist you -- but you could start by confiding in someone you trust and who treats you with care and respect. You could share the feelings and experiences that lead to urges to harm yourself. If these urges are severe -- or are suicidal -- you definitely need to consult a professional. Here's a site with info to begin: http://www.Helpguide.Org/mental/self_injury.Htm.
