It congratulates me on skipping meals, shows me what's wrong with myself so I can make it better and lets me go for razor blades when it all gets too much. It's like a toxic friend you stay with because you can't image life with them.
I can relate so much to that. Thank you for describing it so eloquently.

Its pretty much what my therapist and I were talking about in today's session.
