Breadcrumbs:

is it self injury if you slowly starve yourself?

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

I have a tendency to slow down eating when I get sad.Is it self injury or just laziness, I don't know. I have suicidal ideation and low self esteem. 

 

 

I wouldn't call it self-injury but I think it could fall under the unbrella term self-harm if you're doing it for self-destructive reasons. However, changes in eating habits like that can often be caused by depression. Some people overeat when they're depressed and there are others who find themselves barely eating at all. If you notice this undereating when you're going through a period of sadness it's likely depression.
