Spanked a little bit but I really stop at whipping and hard spanking. I also like to be bound because it helps me feel helpless when i'm super stressed out

I haven't used flogging as stress relief in that way but I know I use particularly rough sessions with dildos in a similar way to relieve tension.

I'm the one that does the flogging so no.But,it can be one to do the flogging.

I'm the same way really, but being the dominant one in my relationship and having my partner live so far away prevent such a form of release.
Sometimes when I'm alone though, I do impact play on myself as long as I feel I can do it safely (usually means using a paddle rather than a flogger because it's easier to control).

If not that, then I'll go outside and try to beat the living daylights out of something I know I can't actually hurt....a tree. Then I give said tree a hug and apologize to it...I'm weird like that I guess. xD

I used to cut lightly as a form of stress relief but I promised myself I'd stop that because I knew it was making my mother and my boyfriend worry (needless worry, mind you...I never wanted to die or draw attention to myself).

Yes, though I have only just realised that is what I am doing. Work is very stressful at the moment and I have noticed I have been craving "playtime" more with my husband and and starting to be cheeky more and more cause I know I will get spanked.

Yes, but for me it's the release of being helpless more than wanting the pain that relieves the stress. Playtime is really the only time that I don't have to be in charge or make a decision for myself. The flogging I just plain enjoy.

Yes yes yes! Consensual pain over self inflicted 4 life.
Same problems as you. It definitely hels.

after ~20 minutes of pain, the endorphins kick in. I think in general sex, orgasms, and related activities are good stress relief

Yup, the problem with cutting as opposed to self-flagellation is people will think you're 'crazy' and force you to therapy. The latter if you don't leave marks noone will notice, or just think you're into kink if they do.
