Product Description
'My name is Lucy. I am in recovery from anorexia nervosa and major depre3ssion, each of which almost killed me.'So begins this extraordinary depiction by an 18-year-old woman of her descent into the tortured existence of anorexia and her arduous and remarkable recovery from it.
Biting Anorexia is unique in that much of it was written while the author was in the grips of the condition. This searingly honest account details Lucy's struggle to literally claw herself back from the point of no return and then to overcome an almost harder battle...that of recovery. Anorexsia nervosa is the most fatal of all psychiatric illnesses - and recovery the biggest hurdle.
