Hitting one's head against the wall is considered as a kind of self-mutilation as much as cutting oneself, pulling out one's hair, breaking one's bones and so on. When you're hurting, your body releases endorphins which explain the feeling of numbness and well-being you feel afterwards.
A lot of people prefers feeling physical pain rather than emotional distress. A lot of people can become addictive to that kind of pain, and getting the urge to do it again.
This is a serious problem that could get worse. You have to seek professionnal help to deal with your stress and find safe methods to learn how to relax.
