Have you ever been angry enough you hurt yourself?

If I'm mad enough I'll punch walls, windows, or trees, to cool off. Punching a pillow or whatever doesn't help because there's no throbbing feeling from it. It's not that I like pain, but it's the crunching of my hand and the solid impact that dulls all the adrenaline and anger.

I've broken bones in my hands 4 times and my knuckles are pretty mangled and my right middle finger has a constant shakiness. I'm 23 and I don't have anger issues, just a lot of shit piles up and I go postal.

    That is actually a form of self harm. I would know because I am guilty of it. I finally went to my doc and I've been feeling much better.

    Hell, yes.. Get so pissed at times just have to whack something and break it, or at least, leave a dent. If it causes you physical pain, such is expected. Kicked a door so hard one time that, not only did I separate it from the hinges, I put a hell of a sprain to my foot.

    I rather go outside and do the difficult garden work that I have meant to do for a long time.

    I'm a girl.... but I'm a fighter.... I have to admit my anger gets the best of me.... if someone chooses ill hit them and start a fight.... when I get angry over things I'll punch walls, throws chairs, kick doors.... the pain calms me down. Don't ask why but it does.... sometime I'll punch my boyfriends arm if he's around or play fight with him to get my anger out.... xx
