hitting myself when angry
Posted: 06-13-08 03:54am

ive written about this before.. (previous title is 'hitting myself')

this time it gets worse and worse.. yesterday i felt so angry at my boyfriend so i hit myself.. i smacked and punched my legs till i have bruises.. and i cried like mad.. its not because of the fight, but usually i cry because i hate myself for doing this.. now my legs are covered with bruises.. after the fights, instead of making things better, i blame and start punching myself..

when i hit myself, it feels better.. just for a while.. and i'll feel all horrible and depressed.. i hide behind my smiles, nobody knows i am struggling with this.. people see me as this happy girl.. i am, but when the point gets low, i'll become a total monster.. im not myself..im so tired of injuring myself.. im so tired of hiding..

i feel like i have nobody to talk to about this.. nobody will understand.. i love my boyfriend deeply, but i dont dare to tell him about this.. to him, if i injure myself, it means i am injuring him as well.. and by injuring him, it means that i dont love him. this is not true.. i hit myself because of me..not because i want to hit him or something..

i channel my anger by hitting and punching myself.. whenever i look at myself, my legs, the place where the bruises are visible, i get so darn sad.. i am so sad and scared at the same time that i am capable of doing this. i guess i really hate myself..

i dont know who else to turn to.. i dont.. i want to go to a psychologist or something but that would mean i have to tell my parents and my boyfriend that i have a problem and i cannot bear that. i dont want them to know, i dont want anybody to know.. sometimes i picture myself with a razor blade.. how it would be easy to end everything.. i feel such a failure.. i really do.. but i dont have the guts of doing it.. i dont want to die, actually. i just want this pain to go away. im so afraid of myself.. i rly do..

i know how you feel..when im angry a sometimes hit myself and for a while it makes you feel better until you think what your doing and it upsets you..I think you should chanel your anger to hitting a pillow or anything other than yourself..Maybe you should go to your docs and they will refer you to a phycoligist in confidential and you can tell ur bf and family when your ready.

What Makes you angry?

I hit myself too when I get angry. Yesterday I hit myself in the stomach and hips and now I have bruises on my hip bones and on my stomach. It really hurts when I put pants on because they run on my bruised hip bones.
