So you have found a way to stop cutting! That is awesome! But your replacement is just another form of self-harm? Most unfortunately, that is not going to help. Maybe you were not seeking for help when you tried burning yourself, but it certainly does not take you further away from the problem.

Now instead of just dealing with self-mutilation, you have adapted to another form of self-injury. You did not replace it... you are not doing something that is in the stead of it... you have ADDED on to the list. You now shall be tempted to burn and cut. You have increased the difficulty to get out of this.

I do not mean to criticize, I just want you to understand what you have done. Do everything in your power to not burn. Focus on that... make it priority to not burn. Keep cutting if you need, just do not burn. Don't let yourself be inflicted with two complications. Defeat this newly formed one first, and then work on the original.
