hitting ones self

[Barneytinsen]

Fuck!
I always hit myself when im depressed angry or frustrated.
Im afraid that i might get a head tumor or some shit.
Is it a symptom of bipolar??? I also have a low temper.

were you diagnosed with bipolar disorder? I don't know if it's a symptom of it but I've done it in the past and I'm not bipolar and I don't have anger issues. it's just another way I self harm. get a punching bag instead?

Getting a punching bag is a good idea, even working out and lifting weights.

Try and find a healthier way of getting your frustration out, personally I'm not sure if it is a symptom of bipolar but essentially it is a form of self harm at the least. As Elijah said maybe a punching bag would help? Or even just going for a run.

Well, we aren't trained medical professionals and therefore, cannot tell you if it is a symptom or not. If you're worried about it, I do suggest that you see a professional about it. I've always punched myself or others things, it is a form of self harm because anything that you do to yourself to cause yourself harm, is self harm. I do suggest that you find an alternative to it though as it can lead to long term issues if you are punching yourself, especially in the same place. Anger needs to be taken out in a positive way, try like the others said a punching bag. Or, boxing, kickboxing basically anything that does involve your hands that way the urge to punch isn't at yourself, but something else.
