Anger is a strong emotion. It makes you feel stressed and upset - maybe even confused. I think that when you're angry, you want to take it out and the only way you feel to do so is to hurt yourself. There are plenty of healthy coping methods, such as reading, writing, painting, exercising, writing down your feelings, and even more.

You blame yourself, you need to find a way to take out the pain, people feel mad at themselves once in a while, but cutting yourself is not the answer, you will get even more agitated for harming yourself.

Sometimes I would feel the need to punish myself. I would also sometimes want to release anger and let off steam, as snapping a rubber band can do.

From my own personal experience, people want to hurt themselves when they're angry because they believe that it will make them feel better.

Obviously people deal with anger in many different ways. Some people might feel the need to hurt themselves as a way of coping with their anger, they may feel frustrated or guilty about the situation and may harm themselves to cope with these feelings.

When you're angry, sometimes the thoughts in your head become too overwhelming and you would do anything to stop them. Slapping your head repeatedly or banging it into walls feels physically good, but exacerbates the problem and usually leads to an intense, emotional breakdown/episode. Maybe you even think you deserve the pain. You probably don't.
