Hitting?

[Secret]

When I'm getting sad, shaking or stressed in a place I sometimes need a break and then I will go somewhere ells to load up or just cry a little and shake freely and try to get normal...and when I've got myself lonely like my room or the toilet at my educational institution and no one is outside I find it like it calms me down to hit on myself like really hard...and like something like a pressure leaves my body a little...and at home I'm also hitting my bookcase and trowing round with pillows and hitting and kicking other kind of funiture (my parents don't know...mostly ha ha!xD... I just tell them that I fell if they've heard something really loud for a second ha ha!xD)...

I would just like to know, do you do it, with what reason and does it make you feel the same?

I go out to the mountains and shoot guns. Seriously, it's therapeutic

a couple of years ago i resorted to cutting my forearm (near the elbow where it doesnt bleed much) over and over again with a steel blade, letting the physical pain override the emotional agony i felt. it was a nice feeling of relief...

because of this, ive now begun to associate pain with pleasure...

I know this is crazy, but I also have ocd, and to relieve stress I sometimes have to imagine punching myself in the right side of my face really hard or a scalpel cutting down the right side of my face, and then sometimes I pinch myself or pull my hair. I also have a chant I say, "dear god please be with us all and keep us all happy and healthy and safe and well, and thank you for all the good in the world, and please forgive me for my sins and my horrible thoughts, no hurt no harm please, only love."

I know I'm crazy. I am nuts and bolts crazy.

i have OCD too and one of the weirdest things i do is that when I get very angry, i hit someone and after that I have to hit myself in the exact same spot to 'balance things out'.

in middle school (jr. high) i would punch the wall, no i wasn't strong enough to put a hole in it or anything but it helped get my anger and rage out a bit. as the years went by, i resorted to hitting myself mostly, sometimes my boyfriend's arm/chest if he's really pushing my nerves on purpose, and furniture if it won't break my hand or anything by hitting it. but mostly yeah i hit myself. for awhile there actually i was hitting my forehead when i was desperate to go to sleep and for some reason i'd knock out after about 5-10 mins. now my self-harming is mostly hitting myself (legs mostly if i'm sitting or laying down) and digging my nails into my skin as hard as i can when i'm really losing it. i admit, i got to the point where it felt good to do that. i'd have red nail marks on me for at least a day after every time.
