I like your questions of the week.
It gives me a sense of control. It gives me a sense of ownership in that it's mine and no one can take it away from me. No one knows the numbers but me. I am always doing things for other people but this is MINE.
It also serves as means to self-destruct. I know there are boundaries on Psycho-Babble, but it's no secret that I want to die. I want this to kill me ... but so far it hasn't.
Also, I only restrict which gives me a sense of purity. I also enjoy the buzz I get from restricting.
