Is this normal? I keep getting these urges to hit my head off solid surfaces.

For me yes. I always get those urges with various surfaces.

Though I strongly (if the urge gets to you really bad) recommend a pillow. It will result in less damage. :)

I get that during a meltdown, but not daily.

It takes a lot to get to the point of feeling like that, so it doesn't happen too often. And as far as actual head-banging, that also is something that hasn't been a significant problem in my existence. (More likely to bang things against the head, rather than the other way around, but again, that also hasn't been a significant problem.)

I get the urge to bang my head and hit myself daily but I don't cave in to it unless I'm stressed or upset usually. Even if I didn't really harm myself it seems like I'm old enough and should "know better" if you know what I mean.
