Does anyone hit themselves?

I've been looking all over online and I'm not finding it so I feel like maybe It's just me. I hit myself in the head with my hands or with other stuff. Even when I don't do it I get really bad urges to do it and can't think of anything else. Thanks.

" I can't believe so many people have already replied. I've tried looking it up different ways on different websites and never come up with anything except for children doing it. I never thought of it as self injury. I don't know what I thought of it as cause that is exactly what I'm doing. I'll do it until my head hurts so bad I can't stand it...mostly when I'm angry or frustrated. My sister used to cut her arms but I never did that and haven't ever wanted to leave any marks that anyone might see. I feel better that I'm not alone. Now if I can figure out how to stop it! Thank you all for replying so fast and openly. "
