Having an Eating Disorder
Stories from Survivors
From the Series It Happened to Me
Eating disorders happen—but how does it feel when they happen to you?
Having an eating disorder is a painful, life-changing experience that happens to thousands of young people every year. Discover what it is like to suffer from an eating disorder through the heartfelt stories of survivors. Learn how it “happened to them,” read their journeys to recovery, and find out more about the causes and treatments of these difficult conditions in this open, sensitive, and informative exploration.
Sometimes, painful experiences happen. It Happened to Me explores painful life crises that affect many young people through poignant diary entries from composite teens who have experienced these situations, supported by informational text. Every year, more and more young people face life-changing situations, from drug and alcohol abuse to eating disorders, family breakups, and homelessness. Being young has never been more challenging. Using a unique in-their-own words approach, this series will strike a chord with many young people who are struggling with complex issues, and help those around them better understand how and why it has happened to them.
