It it normal to feel/hurting yourself when your angry at something/someone?

I have this weird habit of wanting/injuring myself whenever i'm really angry at something. This mainly happens when i'm angry at someone. This urge is uncontrollable and I have no idea why i get this urge in the first place. It's really strange.

    Normal, not healthy. Punch a pillow.

    • Can't. The urge to self-harm whenever i'm mad at somebody takes over. Can't help it.

        Please conquer this before it conquers you. Can you at least draw on yourself instead? Tell someone when you feel like it so you're depending on someone else? This seems like a horrible thing to be going through

        • It honestly is. And when i'm in the situation it's very hard to think of the alternatives because when i'm in this situation the urge becomes very hard to control. I have tried to control it but it's become very difficult to at this point.

            I don't think you can deal with this alone then. It will be harder to stop if you've already messed things up. I hope you can ask for help, for someone to look out for you or check yourself into an institution if it's life threatening.

    It depends to what degree you wanna hurt yourself (insert Papa Roach quote), but reacting violently to negative emotions is pretty normal. Just, don't be like my brother and break your hand by actually punching your bedroom wall full-force. Instead, put things, your problems, whatever worries you in perspective; calm yourself down by taking control of the situation. People are surprisingly good at this generally and it'll come across way better socially.

    • This urge is uncontrollable. I should've probably explained more in my post so in case you don't know what I meant i mean doing things to injure myself intentionally. Like i told somebody else I had been hospitalized due to taking pills a couple of months ago after i got in a fight with a relative.

    Like banging your head against the wall? Punching the wall? It's kind of relatable.

    • No like doing self-harm behaviors. I was hospitalized a couple of months ago because I had took pills because of this issue. I had gotten in a fight with a family member which made me do that.
