Me and My Eating Disorder (1x2)

Exibido em:: Out 27, 2016

An eating disorder says much more about the mind than it does the body. Anorexia, body dysmorphia, bulimia, binge eating - are the external expression of the turmoil within and in this film we hear why. With unflinching honesty, eight very different but relatable characters reveal how their lives unravelled once they began to use food to modify their emotions - whether battling stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness or shame. Their stories teach us that the payback for hosting an eating disorder is extreme: debilitating physical side effects, from skin disorders, unsightly hair growth and nasty internal infections, to playing with fertility, organ failure and even death. This touching film reveals how and why these brave individuals recovered and what impact their illness has had on their lives and the people around them.
