How is my problem related to me wanting to become anorexic?

[Anonymous]

Whenever I feel depressed, the idea of starving myself or starving makes me feel better. It's probably like the feeling when someone cuts themselves.. it just feels good to feel hungry. It is nothing to related to becoming thin, so why do I want to starve myself to feel better?
Background Info: I did lose a lot weight by crash dieting but got back on the healthy track. I'm not happy with my body image, but I'm not sad about it either.

Nothing is good about feeling hungry. Look at news reports for deprived African countries where children are dying from hunger etc. Is this really what u want from life? So u had a bad time with weight issues dodo many others but getting down about it won't help u or anybody. My friends daughter is currently ill with this and has been given a few days to live. It has tore them apart as a family and her body has just shut down nothing works on its own. The pain will be unbearable so stop feeling sorry for yourself and seek help and support your not alone and ruining your life in this way is just selfish and will scar your family forever if they lose u to it. GET HELP.

well maybe because it puts you into some kind of suffering, like starvation is seen as suffering so it could be psychological as well.
