It's a release for me when I'm feeling a really strong emotion that I don't know how to deal with. If I feel a panic attack coming on, I'll do it to prevent it. I especially do it when there's a situation that I can't control. I get so frustrated that I want to scream, run, punch stuff, basically I completely lose it. (I can't really run around my house screaming and punching stuff though, can I?) More and more often though I find myself doing it as a sort of punishment. If I'm feeling really low about myself I'll do it.
