Self harm to release anger

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Everytime i am stressed, i have this habbit to hurt myself. I either hit on my head with my hands (i have headache afterwards) or hit with all the energy on a wall, or door, or whatever i see..this ends up with small blue/red patches that heal in sometime. I do it only when no one is around. While i had this habbit since very long but it wasn't frequent.. once in blue moon i would break something or slap the table. But from past sometime this has become a usual thing...i hit myself when extremely upset and angry and later on i wonder why do i hurt myself. I have also noticed that i have started to stutter while speaking even when i am 100% sure of what i am speaking about. I have not discussed this with anyone and feel embarrassed to talk about this behaviour. Just FYI.. my husband has spotted me talking to myself which i realize only when he points it out. Can you help me?
