Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello.........
Thanks for your query. Trying to harm self in anger is suggestive of pathological personality traits like impulsive/borderline personality. I would suggest you undergo a thorough psychiatric evaluation including personality profiling to rule out personality disorders as well as depression/anxiety disorders. Following evaluation, psychotropic medication or psychotherapy can be initiated.
Wish you good health.

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Do not worry .This may not be a big disease or disorder.People react to situations differently based on their past learning and effects.That is how a person`s reaction or personality develops.You need behavioural therapy to change the way you react to things in order to maintain your safety.
I advise you to visit your Psychiatrist and get evaluated thoroughly.
Take care
