Anxious self harming

Does anyone else self harm because they r anxious? Curious because when I panic/get anxious/pissed off I always want to do it these behaviours can be from cutting to burning to biting, scratching and punching. I’m on propranolol and it doesn’t seem to be helping too much but In the two weeks I’ve taken it I haven’t cut but I have punched myself in the head a few time BUT HEY baby steps right

I punch or cut myself when I get anxious panicked or pissed off and I also scratch myself it's more of the cutting and punching though. You should ask your doctor to maybe up the dose or change prescription.
