Alright, so I've been trying to do other things to fight off the urges. One thing I've been doing is hitting my punching bag when I get angry rather than penting the emotions up like I usually do.

So I have no ace bandage wrap or punching gloves for my fists. A few years ago, before the punching bag came down for about 3 years due to moving and living space, I would hit the bag so much that my knuckles bled. I wasn't aware that it happened until after punching. Wraps helped a little, but since then my wraps have been destroyed or gone missing.

So far my knuckles haven't bled from punching at the punching bag, and I've tried to use sweater sleeves or a bit of cloth that I found lying around to guard my knuckles. However trying to make sure that it's placed right around my fist is causing me to hit the bag wrong so I prefer to punch the bag with a bare fist.

Is it a bad idea to continue punching the bag until I get wraps, or could it be considered a form of SI that I shouldn't encourage right now?

Thank you ahead of time for your input!
