When I'm angry, why do I always feel the need to hurt myself?

for me most of the time it's relating about my family issues when i'm angry or sad i have the need to feel pain so i would scratch or choke myself while i harm myself i think of ways to kill myself and how no one would ever care if i were to die cause i'm so frustrated. that makes me feel good because i like self pity, it brings me joy and pain at the same time. this intense emotion of sadness hit me but i like it. when i feel like this i can't seem to shake the thought and urge of harming myself away

It is not easy to cope,for those who have been fighting a long time even themselves dont have any new ways to deal with it. So we get stressed and start to tremble and thats when we start destroying ourselves,to destroy the monster inside of us.

well I hear a reason there, you are angry when this thought goes through your head, it seems you would maybe want to hurt yourself to stop yourself being angry maybe? take the anger away?

Self harm is a negative coping mechanism but their a lot of better ways, punch a pillow, go for a vigorous run or walk and practice deep breathing!!

I think it's because you want to hurt something but you can't so you choose to hurt your self instead. If you want to hurt your self why not just paint the parts you want to hurt

Human emotion finds a way to cope with things differently in each person. You feel the need to hurt yourself because you feel that is your way of coping with the emotion. Check out our managing emotions tab in the self help guides to better understand this. Thanks for your question!

Because it is your way of coping, it is a bad coping method and I suggest turning that anger into a positive productive creation

يمكنني التغلب على كل المشاكل النفسية , بأستخدام التفكير المنطقي , وجعل الهدف في الحياة ليس العيش فقط , و إنما اكثر من ذلك ..

because you think in negative way .. Try to positive and think about happy things and search about the hopeful .

Part of the anger could be aimed at yourself. If thats the case, than you would want to take your anger out on yourself. That could be in the form of hurting yourself.
