Head banging/ self injury

Luna
over 1 year ago

Hi, 

I struggle with not banging my head on the floor hard when I'm stressed. I've tried to internet search help about it but it's all to do with autistic children. Is this not something adults do? Or is there no real help for adults about it. 

I'm 30 fyi.

Any thoughts, resources etc.?

    I have a similar response, when I cannot cope with a situation any more, the pain is like a reset switch. I used to thump the sides of my head or headbutt door frames. I found that changing to something that does not bruise or cause headaches was useful for me. I now slap the sides of my head or face, it still works as a reset, but causes no actual harm.
