Have you ever been so angry that you wanted to hurt YOURSELF?

Maybe I'm alone here, but has anyone been so annoyed or pissed that you wanted to hurt yourself? I'm not talking becoming an emo that cuts themselves out of sadness, but hurting yourself just out of rage.

I sometimes get this feeling when someone annoys me or just pisses me off really bad. And it gets so bad that I have a strong urge to grab a knife and just kill myself right in front of them, of course I'm sane enough to never go through with it, but it just pops up in my mind.

I'm not looking for any sympathy, just want to know if anyone else has ever felt this way.

If not, how do you cope with your anger?

Saw that video a while back. And I think the reason I feel like doing it is because I cant stand hurting other people, So in order to vent out the anger, I would rather hurt myself (not that I've ever went through with hurting myself).
It sounds weird, but that's the only answer I've come up with.

Nah. Usually an inanimate object is the victim whenever I'm really pissed off. Usually I just hit my drum set with reckless abandon. Or hit the bag once in a while. Good therapy.

Finding an empty room alone and screaming also works for me. Give it a try if you like.

Me neither, I rarely ever get mad, and when I do, I won't easily show it. I usually bottle up any emotions inside of me, Whether they be happy or sad thoughts.

I am a very calm person in general but if i get mad i may punch the wall or something. But as i grow older i get mad rarely. Might have been more than a year since the last time i got mad for something.

Why would i hurt myself over someone else? You must have alot of psychological problem's to cause harm to yourself over someone else. Or are just plain stupid.

Sometimes I wonder this myself, never had any real mental issues, so maybe I am just being stupid.

I don't hurt myself when I'm angry anymore. I used to then. Nowadays,whenever I feel stressed out or angry,I just light up a cig/blunt and smoke (NOT encouraging anyone to smoke). Before that,I also drank a lot of water when I get mad -shrug-.

I hurt myself almost every time when I am angry. I don't want to hurt others,but I need to leave out my rage on something,so I hurt myself by punching the wall for example.

Anger in itself can be quite self-destructive at times, and people who hold onto their resentment usually end up hurting themselves over it more than they think.

But to answer your question; Nope, and I wouldn't want to hurt anyone else for that matter - instead I work out, go for a walk or put on a nice tune to cool my head off and let my source of distress or frustration eat itself.
Though I can't even remember the last time I got really angry or upset, just not giving in to those swings.

Just ask yourself if it truly matters in the greater scheme of things by the end of the day, and if it does; there are more creative, fun and productive outlets for such anger.

If my stress /rage reaches over the top. I might but that rarely happens.

To calm down all I did was:
Take a shower, yell or scream or hit something [pillows and such].
Crushing something also works [stress ball or a box and such]
Throwing something also helps.

Well..tiring yourself out by exercising helps as well.

Get a punching bag, punching walls with your full weight will just break your hands and make you even angrier.

Maybe I am satisfied by the pain,the pain kind of calms me down. I am aware that I may break my hand,but when I am in rage I don't care about it that much.

The fact that it even pops up in your mind is disturbing, you sure you're sane enough?

How do I cope with anger? I isolate myself from others and focus on something completely unrelated to why I'm angry. If I'm particularly furious, I'll switch my phone off and put it away. Just so I'm not tempted to rant.

@OP

There have been times, But usually its because I am angry at myself. So I would punch myself (Of Course Body blows, since I don't exactly want people asking questions)

But Never when I am angry about someone, Usually I just kick or hit them once.

Well, I used to hurt myself, but not because of anger.

In the past - elementary school -, when someone pissed me off, I would scream at them at top of my lungs. Now, I can hardly get angry and if ever, I just need someone to talk to, because I get a massive "logorrhea".

I remember having these thoughts when I was still young but now that I think about it, there's no point in hurting yourself. It makes your mood and esteem worse. And no I did not hurt myself before.

Yes, I used to be pretty emotionally unstable in the past and in case I did something really stupid and was angry at myself, I just wanted to punish myself somehow. But later, I found out that hurting other people conforms me more. Which is not a good thing I guess, it helps though.
The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything.

What kind of question is this? I usually don't get angry and if I do I simply do nothing for a while. Depends on why I am angry though, it would be better to give an example.

I'm going to be honest here ...


I never wanted to hurt myself out of anger, but I did hurt myself out of sadness ... twice.
(You can sightly see the scar on my left arm from the second time. The first one's gone)

I try not to cry in front of others I'm not close to (ie in school) so I would pinch myself on the back of my left hand so I can focus my pain on that instead of the pain inside my mind. ^^'

The question is a bit too vague...
It depends on the reason for my anger, if I get into an argument with family/friends I usually just isolate myself and cool off which usually ends up in me admitting I was wrong after reflecting upon my actions. Although if i get some dickhead trying to antagonise me who I don't know there's no reason for me to take it so I vent my anger back at them.
Hurting yourself because you're angry over an argument or another stupid reason won't solve anything at the end of the day, it will just make matters worse...
And just the thought of killing yourself just to spite the other person? You've got a seriously evil way of thinking :L

IF there someone calls me a FAG, Idiot, Fuck you & anything for no further reason, I'm almost hitting myself not just throwing a tantrum.

I'm an autistic btw, IDK what it is but it just couldn't let go all in my head. I mean I have no idea why I didn't knew anything bout what happened like some people 'trolled/accused' me. IDK but some idiots always acting like 'Dicks' (Mean/jerk) although I tried to ignored it with some unforgettable moments but it didn't work pretty well NOT just other incidents in real-life but now I remembered but it was too late to settle it till I started to repeat myself till I need something to vent my anger & frustration by post something on my Facebook & Twitter.

I don't remember having any urge to hurt myself when I'm pissed off. My presence is a risk to those around me though. Once I was so pissed off at certain someone that I picked up the pair of scissors available near me and threw it at him. He wasn't hurt. Fortunately. So yeah, I don't hurt myself but I might end up hurting others when my temper is out of my control.
However, I don't resort to such violent tactics everytime and anytime. I usually tolerate people's shit silently, without uttering a single word. It's only when something absolutely gets on my nerve that the 'other me' is 'awaken' (Maybe I have watched too much Claymore today).

How to cope with anger, I'm afraid, is something I can't give you any tips about since it appears I myself have got no clue about it.

It's rare nowadays that I would get angry enough to want to hurt myself or anyone else. But when it does happen, I either put on some really hateful music and kickbox or I drink myself silly and dance.
