You feel like it calms you down, that it takes away the anger, but its just hiding from me, making it numb.

Anger always needs a let out....if one is angry with someone, that person is shouted at. If you don't have an outlet to express your anger, it leads to self harm.

When you're angry, hurting yourself or someone else is a common urge to get. You just have to refrain from doing it to yourself or others and try to calm down or take it out on an inanimate object.

Because it may feel like an easier way to understand pain as opposed to mental anguish. self harm is a means of converting my emotional pain into something i can quite literally put a band-aid on and it heals. though it's only a temporary fix to somewhat more permanent situations

Sometimes people have issues dealing with strong emotions, and they search for a sort of release to stop having the feelings they're having. Self harm can sometimes act as a sort of release or distraction. It can also be due to feeling self-loathing, maybe caused by feeling a lot of shame growing up.

It's a coping method. By inflicting more pain on you, it distracts you or helps you deal with the emotional pain or struggle.
