Eating disorders and self-harm seem to go together a lot so it make sense that there’s an underlying connection between pain and hunger.
- stochastic_monk 9y agoEven those with eating disorders who don’t directly self-harm often state that their behaviors are motivated out of a desire to harm the self. This is very relevant.
- 21 9y agoExcept that the paper seems to find the reverse connection - self-harm is typically acute, and this is not inhibited by hunger.
- yellowapple 9y agoReverse that a bit more: self-inflicted acute pain overrides/inhibits hunger.
- kolpa 9y agoNot all self-harm is acute. For example, eating junk because you hate yourself is not acute.
