I go more form smashing plates than walls. makes a better sound. Will throw anything that makes a really god thunk, crash or thud. In the process of my tempertantrum, I usually end up throwing my back, shoulder etc out. I know the clean up process if not the act itself will pull out of alignment my back or pick a joint. So I guess u could say I intentionally hurt myself.

I tore a door off and tossed it down my hallway once. That was the only time I remember, the rest I black out and did stuff...so I understand.

Get a canvas and when you are pissed let the canvas have it. It is like therapy. Turn the emotions into art.

Ellei's idea is very good. Better to have a creative outlet than destructive. I was once amazed at the state of a cooking pot I once made. And the mess of tomato sauce on the walls. I spent weeks finding bits and cleaning it off. And of course that isn't the only time! One time I lost it and smashed a bunch of flowers. How stupid did I feel after that one!

I have a few holes and broken doors to repair in my home as well.

I tore the screen door off, frame and all because I couldn't get it open. I did not enjoy trying to explain THAT one when my husband came home. God bless him he just didn't ask. Smart man.

Been there. I think, in my case, I was striking something inanimate to keep from striking some one. Still, not a good idea if you can avoid it. Liked ellei's idea, turn to something constructive whenever possible.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
