banging out bad memories

Post Reply New Topic

when ever a bad memory pops in my head i cant seem to get them out. So i've ended up litely banging my head against something hard but cusioned. is this normal among aspies? should i stop? what do you do? do you do this? its starting to bother my parrents and i don't like worrying them, please help

I would say stop.

I have enough problems with talking back to them, rescripting, but I get strange looks, I also talk to machines.

Some consideration of your parents is good.

You are treating yourself, and the first rule of medicine is, "Do no harm."

i do rescripting too sometimes, and this banging is always soft.
just clarificatio

I invented a voice in my head that would just say 'leave her alone she is doing the best she can' whenever I had a problem with negative thoughts/memories as I used to criticize myself and hit myself and didn't want this to get out of hand so someone would see me do it and get me locked up!

LEAVE SQUIER ALONE HE IS DOING THE BEST HE CAN AND IT IS GOOD ENOUGH ! !!

thanks to both of you, I apreciate it

You might want to see professional help if it's this serious. I never experienced something like this. But definitely stop hitting your head.

Can you try kicking it out instead of banging it out, or something?

Wouldn't worry. It isn't as if you are banging against a wall.
Lightly and on cushioned things is hardly going to cause damage.
Tho maybe might be better to accept that we all relive both bad and good memories. Just ignore the bad.
Or write them down and why they bother you... or learn from the bad experiences in the bad memories.
