Is it normal i often have these two thoughts/desires?

I often find comfort in the thought of smashing my hand with a hammer or running a blade down my leg when i get anxious or depressed, i think it’s just my urge to hurt myself and get distructive but has anyone else had similar thoughts?

    I recommended seeking out professional help. Another way to cope and ease off the desire to hurt yourself is to draw on the places you want to hurt yourself, like taking a marker and drawing on your arms, legs, etc. A therapist is better suited to help you out with this, hon. Or someone you can talk to that you can trust. Good luck, sweety.

    Just stab a card board box a bit. I dunno- I did it one time and it really helped.

    Feeling like doing this often isn't normal and you need to get some help to find a non-destructive way of dealing with your feelings.

    I've never had urges to directly hurt myself, unless you count punching the wall or the door. I usually just get the urge to destroy things, like smashing a glass on the floor. But no, I guess it's not normal. There are better ways of handling oneself.
