About Me
this is not a private site so I have elected to delete my profile but I can't so I just edited it as best I could. I googled myself today and found a picture still extant and a nice request for a friend so I am posting this for the next time someone finds me.

Open Self-Injury
don't know what to say...been picking since my earliest memories and before according to pictures and family accounts. I am covered with scars and do it constantly whenever a piece of skin is showing. I only admitted it was a form of self mutilation and "confessed" to my therapist last year. It has gotten worse rather than better now that I am talking about it.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
- Getting able to talk about it at all is a relief but I seem to have gotten sort of callous.
- Red Marker Working / Worked
- Helped with the need to see blood when I was cutting. Red finger paint helps better with the picking.
Open Food Addiction
Been in 12 step support for food addiction off and on for 24 yrs. Lost 130 gained over 200, lost 255.5 and kept it off for almost 10 yrs. In relapse now looking to gastric bypass. Changing paradigm from black and white addiction model to emotional psychological model.
Treatments
- Overeaters Anonymous (OA) Working / Worked
- Also Food Addicts Anonymous and Compulsive Eaters Anonymous and Greysheeters Anonymous! Lost and kept off over 200+ pounds but then went into relapse. Feared the "cultish" nature of things. Conflicted w my Christian faith. Side effects were a legalism that kept me fearing all the time from not doing it right.
- Gastric Bypass Surgery Working / Worked
- Pending.
