Can't be a good place to be in though for the person involved (or those around them that love them and have to see their mental suffering manifesing itself so physically).

Yes its one I can't understand the psychological reasoning to, as opposed to other body punishing conditions like say anorexia, where I do understand why they do it. Maybe its because I can't stand the sight of blood so the thought of say cutting yourself is just beyond my comprehension
