thats a form of self harm. i mean self harm as in cutting. i've done it to; still do sometimes but i'm getting a little better. whenever i get really upset what i try to do instead of this is get a hair band and snap it on my arm. it kind of feels the same way, and you aren't actually doing anything physically harming. your best bet in this situation is getting counseling. i personally have never had the chance for that yet, but i think its a good idea. you can sit with someone who's job is to listen to you and only you for however long and they should try to give you some suggestions.

good luck; your in my prayers!

u do no dat dats a form of self harm??
the best way to get rid of stress in your life is to talk to someone?
like anyone realy who will listen to u kauz a problem shared is a problem halved!
kauz doin that to yourself leads to bad thing trust me on that one...
best of luck!

that's like cutting urself.

You need a way to cope with your anger and hurting yourself is not a good way. Some of the things I have found useful are going for a walk of jog, going somewhere no-one can hear you and scream loudly.

i feel the exact same as you, just know that there are ppl who will listen to you or if you are like me and dont enjoy talking to ppl just write it down write a poem or a song or if that doesnt help just go talk to your pets or just let it out and just cry i hope this helps

you need to see a dr...i sometimes scratch my legs so they are black and blue but have learned that that is a sign of anxiety and i usually take medication to deal with it

telling someone would be easier

its cutting basically and i kno thts bad !!! trust me!
