| The kind of lying you do brings you a similar comfort as many other compulsive behaviors, and might suggest that it's a symptom of something else. I eat compulsively because of self-esteem issues going back to my childhood, for example. I probably sound like a broken record, but seeing a licensed therapist would probably be the most helpful step you can take right now. 
 Best of luck, and honesty is the best policy.
