My brain is now fighting it, telling me that I'm better, even though i still hate myself, self harm, and starve myself (even though I'm not working on that).
This is because you have practiced these coping methods where you have gained a sense of "control" when you practice them. What you need to do is work with a therapist where you can find out what happened to you that started you on this path of using these coping methods so you could have "some" sense of "control".
