my anorexia.

Introduction: I'm Hannah

My birth name is Hannah Bernstein.

And I have anorexia nervosa.

If I had to describe myself in three words, I would say I'm witty, I'm sporadic, and I'm humorous. But, I couldn't have ever imagined that my eating disorder could even take that away.

It all started April 29. After all the fights that had stirred in the weeks before.

I remember exercising for more than four hours a day. And I had just found time to hang out with my last boyfriend. But I will say more in an up and coming issue. It is a long story.

In this book, I will be cataloging my days. Both past and present. And as you read through this e-book, you will learn not all times were cold. I met new friends, rekindled new relationships and even more or less, went to another state! I have many funny stories to share. Most originate from hard times in my life.

This book isn't just for you. It's also for me. I want to share my story— to spread awareness to the dangers of this terrible mental illness. An illness that's whole purpose is to kill.

Because of my eating disorder, my brain was re-wired. I have no recollection of any childhood memories, even though I am very young. I could only remember the reps of exercises, in what order and the calorie content of items I didn't even eat. It's upsetting to me that I put my eating disorder ahead of many things. Friendships, family, my education. So join me for a tour inside my mind as you get a look at my road to recovery.

Thank you for reading!
