do you slam your head against the wall in frustration?

Post Reply New Topic

I almost never do, usually resist the urge to do it. But every once in a great while, when things get too rough, I slam the back of my head against the wall carefully, not hard enough to really cause damage. We have a low frustration level, I think. and I dont feel pain when bumping my head. That or a shutdown. I used to bite my lips as a teen until they swelled. didnt feel any pain either.

Yes I slam my head against the wall or the floor sometimes. But only if I have a really out of control crying meltdown. What triggers it for me is when I just cannot understand a person's behavior towards me. Like when it makes me feel like my head is going to f*****g explode just trying to understand. It rarely happens unless I encounter a person/situation that is intensely upsetting, then I could be having those meltdowns off and on for days or weeks at a time. Slamming my head is weirdly soothing.

My son used to when he was younger. I smack myself on the head occasionally, but not super hard. I do pull on my hair a lot when I'm stressed.

Rarely, I'm more of a slam my fist into something when frustrated. Will bang my head on the desk though.

I've been known to slam my head into things on occasion during meltdowns, however my primary methods of self-harm include smacking myself in the head with my own hands, and biting down as hard as I can on my hands/fingers; this has left callusing which no longer hurts when I injure myself in this manner. My meltdowns fortunately don't happen often, only once every few months or so. My last one was back on the 30th of December.

I bang the back of my head against the wall or hit myself in the forehead with the heels of my hands at the beginning of a meltdown. Then I start whacking the backs of my hands together which really hurts and my knuckles end up red and sore as if I've been punching walls.

I might bang my head against the ground to stop myself from lashing out during meltdowns.

In the past sometimes if I was very stressed I'd back up into a wall really hard or squash into something hard. I don't feel it much either. Then I'd shutdown and not talk orange move. Try not to bash your head too much though because you might damage your brain. Would it help to punch something instead?

When I have meltdowns, I often self-harm. I might hit myself on the head, pinch my skin, or yank on my hair. Once, I even bit myself lightly. I went through a phase of scratching the back of my hand, sometimes hard enough to draw blood; I don't do that anymore, though.

I find myself whacking the front of my head with the bottom of my palm when I get frustrated and I haven't thought things through. I only do it once when I do it, though.

only when i had a near-meltdown early last fall (september) did i reach my head-slamming point. bashing it on lockers, thankfully missing the knobs, going to the counseling office, to demand that i see my counselor immediately to talk to her and try to calm down, and looking the person in there, in the eyes and banging my head on the desk while backing away....i did see somebody else that day, thankfully. not the one i was asking for. just had a slight dull headache afterwards.

my "meltdowns" are very quick and don't see myself flipping into them often...i do skin-pinching though, and my right forearm is dotted with little scars.

I will bang the back of my head against the wall or squeeze my head with my hands.

I'm tempted to do so, but I prefer breaking pencils or sticks in half or crushing soda cans with my hands.

^ and then you have two (pencils).

haven't done it since high school, but today I was sad cuz for some reason I decided to go to this party I had no way to get home from till morning. Then after half an hour of walking hungover at dawn to the nearest bus stop, and then waiting over half an hour for the next bus, the bus finally showed up and I got on and then the f*****g bus had to stop and wait at some shopping center for 26 minutes.

When the bus was empty I started hitting my head on the plexy glass window cuz I knew it wouldn't break and wouldn't really hurt my head and cuz I was mad that I didn't leave before when I had the opportunity. Instead of being in my bf's super soft bed with all the blankets and feeling safe with him I was stuck in some bus in the middle of nowhere, after spending the night just hiding in this really small area next to my friend's bed not even sleeping, just being high and drunk as hell and scared of all the people. still felt kinda weird about it after tho since I thought I was done with head banging years ago.

I feel like I was overreacting cuz I've been at parties before and I didn't get scared like that before, but I never spend the night without my bf and I never spend the night at parties so I guess I just pushed myself too hard and had a regressive moment.

it was a great feeling tho when I finally got home after the hour and a half f*****g journey and got to lay in my bf's soft bed, and then his kitty came and smelled my face and licked me and layed on us, and then he held me and other things and I finally felt normal and happy and safe again.

I used to headbang but I never slammed it into a wall.
