Although I wouldn't recommend if you're not in a safe mindset.
Richey Edwards, the lead singer used to self harm and have an eating disorder untill he disappeared. (If he is alive then he may or may not still have them).
In an interview with NME (i think) he managed to freak out the interviewer and thus was spawned the classic image of him.
But yeah. Thats why the first albums reference suicide, self harm and anorexia so much.
