First off, I am an atheist who have heavily studied Christianity for various reasons.
It is ruled among Catholics that taking a human life, even oneself's is sinful - a mortal sin that would effectively give one a one-way ticket to hell.
It is general consensus that thoughts and attempts of any sins, although may not be as severe as the actual actions committed, are not necessarily equally-but nonetheless still sinful.
Even if one harmed him/herself outside of the intention ending their own life, many will view that one is being unthankful of their gift of body, life, and soul given to them by god.
So yes, for whatever reason it is, many will agree that self-harm is subject for confession.
Furthermore, if you are someone you know are harming oneself, I advise that you or that person seek professional help. Although I neither have the right to tell you what to do, nor may know better about anything than you do, many agree that our minds have a sense of self-preservation which keeps us from doing anything that could potentially be dangerous to ourselves. Ergo, one hurting or attempting on killing themselves means something is definitely not right.

Do you have to go to confession if you don't have mortal sins?
As you put the question, no, you must go to confession once a year, regardless, and you must go to confession anytime that you are in mortal (serious) sin. Without going to confession you may not receive Holy Communion without damning yourself. Those are the only times that you are required to go to confession.Outside of that, you need to go to confession regularly if you have any desire whatsoever to grow in the spiritual life, and obtain heaven. Once a month is the absolute minimum for that.
