I kinda think I need to find other ways to relieve tension. There are plenty of habit forming ways, and/or self-destructive.
Headbanging, as I've found, can be destructive.
It did help when I've done it before, but it depends on the stress level.
I think I pulled every muscle in my neck and upper back within an hour.
So, just a warning for any fellow headbangers, don't over-do it. It's been three days and I still can't fully move my neck.

Yup. That was one of mine too. The holes in the walls can be hard to explain. And head injuries, even small ones, are cumulative. Even though head banging sometimes seems the thing to do, it's really not recommended.

Guilty!

Thankfully I've never overdone it too much... but I've been pulled away from doors/walls of all sorts by some friends when I get frustrated enough.

Weird thing is... my overall self-injurious behaviour is unknown to many. I guess it just takes a certain foul mood and me being tense to act out in that way... Headbanging as stress relief?
