Yeah I did that a lot when I was a teenager. They say depression can present as anger and irritability in teens and I certainly had that going on. I felt like I was gonna explode if I didn’t do something and hitting the wall was my solution.
But i’m not teenager anymore and still want to do it!

Why would you want to hit a person?
I lost my temper so easily recently. I raised my voice and shouted down the road but don’t really kick walls anymore as much. It just released some heated energy I suppose

I got like that too shouldn’t I need to be like Ghandi its just hard sometimes bc ive gotten less passive and im more argmentative but about physical rights being violated. It’s like I’m seeing it as seriously not ok and toxiv. I put up with it for 5 years so I’m mentally shaken up. I’ve been with a guy who cant manage his temper and has anger problems. Every single day… He sleepa in till noon and complains if hes up early… He doesn’t help with the house… Doesn’t work to pay for really anything besides cable pgne recently he stopped getting ssi for my daughter who i was caring for.
I feel awake to being treated like ■■■■and thinking I deserve better even with a mental illness. Nomatter how crazy someone is harming them in any way unless they touch you first is wrong… But I am going to let him leave and get my life together… He’s going to go and I know it. He tells me without me forcing him that he hates me.
So, I am going to be a single mom. I am going to let him go. I prayed Gdwill over us and him hating me is like God just answering my prayer and turning his heart away from me… I asked Gd to curve his heart when I got with him and he all of the sudden acted differently. Now he’s back to hate…
I’m just so done with hate but I feel like a toxic waste from sitting with him too long and taking abuse.
111111 is real and im going to allow myself to be happy.

Well if you feel it’s abusive you should definitely move away I agree. Why doesn’t he help around the house. Do u have a fair share of responsibility?
Its the wrong response. An animalistic one moving from anger in thought to violence in action in a foolish attempt to remedy the situation by doing injury. The human part of us should control rage, its what we tend to do when we see no other way out. But there is one if we just look for it

Because I have mental illness that sometimes manifests as anger? Everyone has different manifestations.
I suffered with rage attacks when I had mixed states years ago.
Instead of punching the walls or breaking everything in sight my one therapist told me to scream into a pillow.
It helped.

When I was deep into my competitive gaming phase, I would get violently angry when I lost and punch a wall sometimes. I eventually learned to keep the anger balled up inside. Probably not the best approach, but it did thicken my skin.
The belief that punching a wall or door releases anger is false. What punching a wall or door does do is it makes an association between anger and aggression, therefor teaching us that the way to solve a problem when we’re angry is through aggression.
We need to have an awareness of our emotions, so when we get angry we’re aware that we’re angry. The next thing we need to do is to take a time out, a cooling-off period, by thinking about something else less stressful.
I throw things too when I’m mad. I shouldn’t admit this but I hit myself sometimes in the head. I know it’s not very bright and I shouldnt do it.

@Adelaing, Is this the same guy that you were exclaiming such mad love with?
@Abu_man
It’s a lack of options, skill, knowledge, and ability of what to do with an adrenaline rush and negative emotions.
@Adelaing
Sorry you are hurting. Do you have a place to go with your daughter? Can you support yourselves?
It’s pent-up energy from the “fight or flight” response. When we are stressed, our visceral mind believes we’re in trouble. Adrenaline is released and our bodies will expect to take action. Hitting/kicking something releases that energy.
Stop stop this is an emergency
