Have you physically hurt yourself when you went berserk?

Well... Kind of.
Here's my explanation:
Sometimes I hurt myself physically to prevent myself from hitting a person or ruining things around me. Oh, hey, I don't cut myself or make myself bleed.. Just punch a wall or something...
And sometimes I hurt myself physically to ease the pain I'm feeling from with in. It helps actually - even though it's not a good act.
But it's better to control yourself, right???
Sometimes, that's the hardest thing to do..

Whew, it is not good when you involved with self-mortification. I bang doors and smash things (not the brittle ones) when I go berserk. I just got to find an outlet to vent it all out!

But I don't usually get angry at home. I'm actually at peace there. It's during school days when a lot of people or situations piss me off. I can't bang doors or throw things in school, can I? Or perhaps in the comfort room when there's a chance. LOL. I'd be happy to smash the mirror if there ain't anyone in there to watch me do it.

Wow, as superstition? I never really believe in superstitions. But yeah, it'll be real painful when you smash a mirror with your hand. But I can always use objects to smash mirrors.. Lol.. Just kidding. School property, if I get caught, I can get expelled.
LOL!
Have a nice day!

Just so you know....thats STILL CONSIDERED Self Injury (which is what cuttin is)..and to answer your question yes I do and have for yrs...I've been a Self Injurer for over 20 yrs now..and I do cut, pick, scratch, bit pcs off my tongue etc..but I also when REALLY ENRAGED punch inanimate objects rather than the person I'm enraged with..

oh I wanted to say too..as much as it IS far better to hit a thing rather than a person realistically, its still NOT controling yourself..harsh but true...Controling yourself would be not lashing out physcially at all..make sense?

"I've been a Self Injurer for over 20 yrs now..and I do cut, pick, scratch, bit pcs off my tongue etc.." Oh my gosh.. Oooww..! Did you really have to go that far? Hmmm.. But I don't really blame you. A lot of times I'm close to ripping my skin off because of anger.

Yes, it makes a lot of sense. But I never really got to make self-control an easy habit. I guess I should practice more.
But you know what? Everytime I try to control myself from hitting anything, it's like my heart's bursting. And it literally hurts.. But if you mean trying to control my emotions - God, I'll need more than luck just to pass that test. Hahaha.. I'll need miracles.

well i do hurt myself when i go berserk, but accidentaly. sometimes when i get really angry i throw things and destroy things, never thinking of what might happen to me or to other people around me. so basically when things go awry and debris is flying everywhere, i hurt myself in the process.. oh there it goes!. that was a nice discussion!,

Thanks!
Yes, sometimes I hurt myself by accident too.. And later I regret it. LOL. But I usually hurt myself intentionally when I'm all pissed.. That and that.. Because whenever I feel the physical pain, I don't feel the emotional pain that much.. And I think it's better that way.. Idiotic or what? But I'm just like that. LOL.

Sure, I've punched a wall or two in my time, and a few doors, kicked my car, etc. I used to have a very bad temper. But I agree with you, better to hit inanimate objects than a person.

Kicking is better. LOL. Punching actually leaves nasty marks on your hand, especially when you punch so hard on hard things.
But better hit something than someone, right? You could go to jail with that. LOL.
But best if you learn how to control yourself. If you can't.. SCREAM! LOL.
Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated! :)

Have you tried healing yourself? Do you know where this rage is coming from? It's never really from the moment at hand. Anger usually comes from pain, usually from something we don't want to deal with and that's an indicator of need for some kind of connection to supportive/therapeutic services that can help us deal with these kinds of things even though nothing can take away the painful truth of experience.

Yes, I have. But I usually try healing myself after I have released my tension and anger inside me. That's why most of the time, when I'm angry, I hit something.. I don't know - I think it's because of the impulse. Sometimes, I really can't control it.
Thanks for responding to my discussion.
