Hitting myself in the face

Post Reply New Topic

Lately I have been hitting myself in the face out of frustration. I'll feel an irritating sensation in my forehead whenever I think about my failures and I will either punch or knock myself out of anger. I can't make the feeling stop until I hit myself.

I'm sorry you are feeling that way. I had a period of my life when I did that, too. I hope you can find a direction forward that gives you less tension. When things begin to change for you, I think you will have less of this behavior.

jumping around is better, no need to self harm

Have you given thought of seeing a therapist, if there are any in your area?

I have definitely been there, but there is life after self-harm.

When you think about your failures realize they are not your own.

Until age 30 humans are highly reliant on others, your parents and those around you have failed you I am sorry.

When you are older you may decide who enters your life, once you have enough wealth.

I just tried what you were describing on myself for a little bit and man does that hurt a lot.
Yeah, that is too much beating yourself up a lot, when it might be better-directed to a tree or something.
Don't break your fist or wrists on the target though. Put a padded target (pillows) on it if necessary.
Or maybe head-butting the target instead of punching yourself.
May as well «channel» that «energy» of yours into a «healthy» activity (like martial arts) after all.
Who knows... this could be the «blessing in disguise» that you need to start feeling successful at something.
With all of that energy-expenditure you could potentially develop a «hot bod» before you know it for the ladies !
