Okay, so, yeah. I've been giving the hulimiation/degredation thing a lot of thought.
I have some pretty unhealthy issues with emotional masochism, which I've talked about before, but I've recently realized how deep it goes. I can get into a cycle of "Oh my god I suck I'm such a worthless person" (usually triggered by someone asking me about writing, or something else like that that I have trouble with), and then will just go on and on about it no matter how many times the person I'm talking to says "no, no you don't suck." I recently realized that I keep on it, getting more and more depressed, countering all reassurences with more and more insecurities until finally whoever I'm talking to throws up their hands in frustration, and at least for a quick moment, actually, truly, really agrees with me. Once I get that affirmation of "you know what? Your right, you do suck and you are worthless" it hurts, but it hurts in a bad/good way, and its almost a relief of like, "I knew it!", and it scratches an itch so deep down inside. And then usually I cry and get a little depressed.
Anyway, what I'm thinking is, is that maybe degredation and humiliation will be able to scratch that itch. Maybe not exactly in the right way (since I'll know in the back of my head that the person doesn't actually believe that I'm a stupid/worthless/easy/bitch/whore/slut) but close enough to stave off the cravings.
I'm going to be thinking about this a lot.
