Many people with eating disordes may also tend to self injure. I did both. They were a viscious cycle for me but I have been in recovery from my eating disorder (anorexia) for 1 yr now and haven't sekf injured in 8 weeks. So there is hope.
Take care of yourself. insecurity |

roughly 1 in 100 people have some form of this. It's called an impulse control disorder. Specifically Trichotillomania.
If you don't realize you are doing it, then Habit Reversal Training should be pretty effective for you. If you have a pdoc talk to them about it. __________________ Chris The great blessing of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes, and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for, without finding it.
