  • Resumen

  • "Welcome to Episode 2 of the 'UnBreakable Me Podcast.' In this episode, I take you on a deeply personal journey through my battle with anorexia. It's a raw and revealing exploration of how this illness took hold, leading to multiple ICU admissions, severe dehydration, and a dangerously low heart rate.I open up about my experiences in a child psychiatric ward, where desperation led to self-harm and laxative abuse. We'll discuss the weighty decisions I faced at 18, including the prospect of transitioning to an adult psychiatric ward or permanent discharge—each with its far-reaching implications.This episode delves into the struggle with body image issues and the complexities of adult relationships shaped by my past. The challenges seemed insurmountable, but so was my determination to survive. Join me on the grueling path to recovery, spanning years to achieve a healthier weight and emotional well-being.In the spirit of solidarity and support, I want to assure anyone facing eating disorders or mental health issues that you're not alone. Stay tuned as we tackle these critical issues together, because, remember, we are stronger than our struggles."
