Living in a mind where everything is what it isn't. Fighting the day ahead. Fearing what is to come.

Lizzie just returned to school after taking an extended leave of absence. She's hoping that she can ride out the rest of her junior year under the radar, but it seems like someone else has other plans. One of her classmates is determined to befriend Lizzie and prove to her that she's not alone. The catch? She doesn't know who they are. They're determined to remain anonymous, and only communicate through neon green post-it notes left on Lizzie's locker. As Lizzie sets off to discover who her mystery friend is, she just might start healing from her trauma in the process--that is, until she finds herself falling into her old habits again. CW: Disordered eating, depression, anxiety

This is chronicles of an anorexia. I say "an" because it is telling the story of one unique experience. The roots of causation, the spread of the illness and the manifestations and impact it leaves on those in her wake. This story is told out of chronological order, with the journey of the character diverging into three separate imagined outcomes. Each of these three possibilities are written in a disjointed simultaneous fashion-- however, they cannot coexist. The way the story ends is up to the choices made in the moments and scenes throughout every page and every chapter. Anorexia loves to nostalgia. Therefore these chronicles are an intermingling of the past and present, looping in and out in fear and desire of an enigmatic future. Its part diary part narrative part self-help, jumping from poetry to prose to stream of consciousness. Recovery is not a single jolt of realization or inspiration. It is the constant fight every moment of everyday. The continuous and untiring revolt against any indication Ana is rearing her ugly head. Anorexia is like a chronic parasite. Recovery is choosing to peel the leech teethed to your skin again and again, only for it to attach and attempt to drain you at the next opportunity. It's painful and ugly. But it is not impossible. Every time that leech is peeled off and flung away, it loses some of its bite. Every bite you take allows a little more of life to be your own again. Keep biting. Keep fighting.

This is the story of the mental illness that affects millions worldwide. The same illness with a twenty percent fatality rate.

'But a black young girl of God cannot get Anorexia or mental illnesses-. This is my story. You probably have struggled like how I have too. These were my coping mechanisms. This was a battle. A battle you may have experienced as well. This was ongoing. This still is ongoing. I journaled my experience with anorexia on the bad and good days and how I felt God with me along the journey. I wanted to find my worth and identity again. God and I wanted to write this book to expose how anyone or any race and gender could struggle with mental health. This book encourages some specific readers to recover from any mental illness with professional help and guidance from God. I invited God to help me recover and he started working; I had relapses, obstacles but he still stood by my side with his mercy, patience and grace. In addition, this book could also be read by those who don't struggle with any mental illnesses but want to gain understanding on what it's like for someone who does and how God is real. This is my life with Anorexia and depression as a Christian who has God on her side. However I believe, 'What God cannot do, Does not Exist'- NSPPD. I aim to update this story until I heal fully. Will I ever heal? TW: WIEIAD INCLUDED SOMETIMES. LITTLE CALORIES MENTIONED BUT NO SEPCIFIC NUMBERS.

I love weetabix. Weetabix is life. I have weetabix for brekky every day. I have it as a snack sometimes. Half my camera roll is weetabix. I forced my family to like weetabix.

I am a teenager suffering with unhealthy habits and i have problems with food. I am not diagnosed so i can't be taken seriously... These things don't have to make sense every time.

Since for three years restrictive EDs have consumed her life, Madison (now a senior), whose identity was long built on her perfect grades, achievement, superiority, and body, must rebuild and reorient herself before adulthood drops. (And it's possible; she's at last fully committed to the cause and on her way. This is just a testimony to that.) This is one of Madison's journals, providing a 30-day glimpse into a vital stage of her ED recovery process from the moment she became open to letting go of weight and restriction as sources of esteem. It opens at her lowest, most pivotal point and progresses as she does. But old habits provide comfort, and so Madison does fall back into them but continuously reminds herself why she is bothering to change: because there is a life for her worth living--now and ahead.
