can I ask a question, is hitting walls the same as self injury, I have never cut myself, but for years when upset I hit things. and how do you stop.....Im fine till I get stressed and then I get so frustrated I feel this urge to blow steam.....honestly if I can hurt my fist, that pain is easier to deal with then what is inside.,.....I have never lost my temper and hit something.....it is always built up preasure, and controlled yet not, since hitting thing is definatly not an act of self control..but is really hard to resist. I'm hoping someone out there has ever dealt with this......thanks

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Some days its hard to be a One Girl Revolution
I think that is a form of SI. I have never delt with it tho, so I don't know what to say about how to stop... um could you try to exersise when you are feeling that way, like insted of hitting walls, could you hit a punching bag? I am sorry I can't be much help, I am praying for you tho.

I personally think it is, I used to dat that as well as cut, and, well, you can do soo much damage by hitting things, if it's something really hard, and it's not good for you. and at the end of the day, it ahrms you, and it's something you do yourself, and have urges to do, you feel like you need to do it to be ok, so, I think it is, sorry if I haven't been very helpful.
God bless,

I'll be praying for you!

I think thats a really good suggestion, if I had been sensible enough to do that then I think it really would have helped, I don't do that very often anymore, I tend to SI in other ways, but, excercise or watch a film, something to take your mind off it, to relax you and take the anger and pain away!
God bless

actually it is not a form of SI,but more a form of an outburst that is beyond your control.kinda thinking here,self injury is pretty easily done without the outburst,for me even when ok with everything around me-the SI can start. in younger years I did act out at walls,furniture,things. Does it really help,or do you find yourself then hurt in pain and feeling even worse? I did. Prayers for you.

thanks for the help....in truth it is an outbusrt, but not out of control, it is anger and frustration built up, but not a loss of control, just a lack of godly self control. The other night when I wrote I was really close to hitting a wall......I took of my ring so I would not breack the ring....it was calculated...I know when I do it, I do feel better atleast for a little while and the broken fingers or brusied fingers gives me something to concentrate on (Physical pain is easier to deal with then emotionaly) but it has been 6 months since I did something like that and I did not want to throw it away in a moment of foolish behavior so instead...I talkedto you all, then paced around some, prayed some and choose to go talk to a friend rather then ahang out alone, eventually I cried myself to sleep....it has been a tough week since but I have not hit anything......I need to practice making the right choice more often
so thanks for your prayers and such
