I do that too. I often start tearing my hair out and punching my head. Over the years though, this self-hitting reduced and shifted more to objects.

Several times, my neighbors had to call the police (which resulted into a SWAT team arriving to my flat) because I was punching my wall so hard that they thought somebody was being beaten to death.

Oh, I only got to the point an anonymous letter arrived asking me to stop that noise...

I used to do this all the time. It started around the time of the hormone change for me, although there was a lot of s-word going on in my life at the time as well so I don't know how much of it was stress. Nowadays I rarely get that angry, but I only break or hit things. Back then I was so out of control I hurt people. I feel such regret for my actions despite the fact that I was out of control. I still hit myself during a meltdown though.
