Would you punish yourself?

Sometimes, although I understand how irrational it is, I punish myself by not eating when I have become upset by people with whom I interact.

Have you ever, or would you ever, punish yourself in such a way?

I would if I were imprisoned and severely limited in my means of drawing attention to some grievous injustice or another. 

Otherwise, my inclination would be to save the "punishing" for those who were actually guilty of wrongdoing. Big Grin
