Hunger Is a Gatekeeper of Pain in the Brain
Eating disorders and self-harm seem to go together a lot so it make sense that there’s an underlying connection between pain and hunger.

Even those with eating disorders who don’t directly self-harm often state that their behaviors are motivated out of a desire to harm the self. This is very relevant.

Except that the paper seems to find the reverse connection - self-harm is typically acute, and this is not inhibited by hunger.

Reverse that a bit more: self-inflicted acute pain overrides/inhibits hunger.

Not all self-harm is acute. For example, eating junk because you hate yourself is not acute.
