Hi doctor, I become attached to people more easily, and I crave attention from the people I do connect to. I find myself wanting to act out negatively to get this attention from them, such as by starving myself, so they notice I have lost weight, or by self-harming in prominent places instead of hiding it. I do not want to worry anyone and hate myself for craving attention like this. But, I do not know how to make it stop. I have never told anyone about this and usually try to hide my emotions. This issue has been present for about seven years. In the past, I have engaged in different forms of self-harm as well as periods of fasting, self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse to lose weight.
