I am hitting myself in the face pretty often and I am unsure why. I think my parents used to hit me when I was very young and I don't remember. I try to refrain from doing it but sometimes I can't. âšī¸ Does anyone else do this?
Yesterday I got ganged up on by teenagers at the bus stop (I'm female, in my 30s). Long story short they threw my belongings in the street, put their hands on me and made sexual remarks. I think I got triggered by the distress of this experience. They also called me ugly and all kinds of crazy shit. In a room full of people this occured and nobody did anything. What are some coping techniques you use? I'm not interested in traditional talk therapy right now...
It seems I only do this before or a few hours prior to a bowel movement. I feel it could be a herxheimer reaction to killing parasites as well.
Yes I agree. I also think parasites/fungus may have something to do with it. I realize I have the power to not hit myself and sometimes I refrain but it is hard.

It seems to be connected to the emotion of self hatred and usually only occurs before I go No. 2. It is absolutely connected to digestion for me.
