My turn to be confused. What I meant was that when you starve yourself, for instance, that sounds to me like you're being pretty harsh to yourself, if not downright mean. It doesn't, to you?

I'm glad people here see me for who I really am, although... Still not sure that this is a good thing... Of course being seen for the bright and caring person I am is a good thing, just not the other angry and depressed side of me..

We figure you're working your way through the anger, depression and whatever else, and we want to support you any way we can. It would be a lot harder for us to support you if you weren't willing to let us see that side of you and/or tell us about it.
By "good thing" or not, it sounds like you really mean you're not especially
comfortable letting us see some sides of you. That's hardly surprising, even though I'd like to think you're among friends. I quite admire your courage in sharing with us as much as you have, btw.

...I have to set myself up for competition.. I feel I have to be able to do more situps, pressups, crunches etc, than him. I'm so competitive and if I don't win, I fail basically..

Come to think of it, competing sounds like it could be a pretty good way to channel anger. How are you doing at telling the difference between playing hard and doing your best, versus competing so hard that you hurt yourself?
