Comet is a very caustic cleanser that can take the enamel right off a sink or bathtub.  It is probably doing permanent damage to your mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines.  It is very difficult, sometimes impossible to repair a badly damaged esophagus.  Repeated exposure to caustic substances causes cell damage that has been linked to cancer.

Please go see your doctor (or find a doctor) right away, so you can get help in understanding why you are doing this. That's the first step in retaking control of your life. Some people who self-harm have untreated anxiety. Some have a form of OCD.  Both are very treatable.  

Sometimes it takes getting really sick to appreciate health. Please get help before you do any permanent damage!
