Yes, I thought padded gloves too... they might even be able to stop you making a proper fist which I think would cause more damage than a more open palm? Maybe?
When my son has behaviours that worry me, which are usually things he does that will hurt himself or things he does that will hurt others, his psychologist gets us to really look at the behaviours to try and work out why they are happening. You sound like you don't want to be hurting yourself, so maybe with your Mum's help you can keep some notes of every time this happens. Also notes about what happens immediately before each time you hit your legs and after. Notes about whether it was a bad incident or not (like on a scale of 1-10). If you do this for a while you may be able to identify what triggers it, what you get out of it and hopefully then you can find something to replace this behaviour. Something safer. Good luck nintendofan, I hope you get some help soon.
