Rejsgirl, I wouldn't agree that its the same as cutting. Feeding is an effort to live and receive energy and comfort, although at times those of us who binge may be over doing this comfort and feeding, its not the destruction of cutting, or done with the same spirit of injury. I do agree there with you there are certainly some psychological components, but its more biological than we give it credit imo.

I think there are too many reasons why people engage in various self-harming actions to make blanket statements one way or another. Having both binged and cut myself, I can say that the urge for both in me is similar, yet not precisely the same, so I agree with RejsGirl and at the same time I would not want to discount the experiences of people who feel differently.
