that not eating can be counted as a form of self harming :eek:
Ive been looking into it a lot recently, even right now.
i mention this because i wasnt to know as much a possible about self harm and why people do it...and also because for the last few months ive not been eating properly and in the last few weeks ive found out ot can be classed as self harm

Causes
People self- injure for a variety of reasons. However it is commonly thought to provide a release for pent- up emotions and feelings. Frequently someone who self- injures reports feeling more connected and alive immediately after or during the event.
Although this is not always the case, there is also often an association with:
sexual, physical and emotional abuse,
low self-esteem or self-hatred,
fear of rejection,
feelings of guilt, anxiety, grief or anger,
feelings of numbness or deadness and feelings of detachment from the world are often reported.
Self- injury is an indication of emotional distress and not an attention seeking exercise.
Why is it that we feel useless sometimes when it feels like we have a friend in need and you want to help yet feel like you cant
so why are you not eating ? any particular reason ?
Not eating can be a way where you are in control and its you who decides when you eat etc.
There have been a couple of threads about not eating you may want to do a search and see if theres any help there
Tbh i really dont know why ive not been eating properly...theres so many things i could blame it on then again part of me thinks i just didnt want to eat, I suppose in reality there must have been something that stopped me from eating but im at a loss as to what
I'll look around and see what i can find
