I hit myself when angry...this isn't any better than cutting?!
Question: I hit myself when angry...this isn't any better than cutting.?
I used to cut myself, but I haven't in 6 months, soon to be 7.
But now when I'm angry, I'll hit myself (hard) in the face. I know this isn't healthy whatsoever, and typically I do this to stop myself from crying.
Is this equivalent to cutting.? I know this question is odd, but I'm seeing a social worker tomorrow and I need to clarify some things I've been denying.Health Question & Answer

yes it is the same thing, self harmHealth Question & Answer
It's all self harm. It's a way to take away the pain, well attempt to transfer the pain to something physical. Maybe not as bad because with cutting there's always a chance with death, and if you're just hitting yourself with your fist, I don't think you will kill yourself...but yeah still self harm, and still not good.
