TW: Anorexia, purging, self-harm, loss of pregnancy, suicide, death
Elena Dunkle aided by her mother, Claire Dunkle does an honest job at sharing her fight with Anorexia. It’s not east and it’s not short.
Everyone’s experience with an ED is different and their Road to recovery takes different paths. The author had a long and extremely daunting battle with FOOD that cost her almost everything.
How does one get to the bottom of that? Do we need to have reasons? Coming from a supportive family surely helps but how much can others help you unless you want to help yourself? The spiral of wanting to get better and realising that you are a lost cause is arduous.
‘Recovery is a path, not a destination.’
The inner-voice that keeps reminding of how you are nothing but a failure, of how you will always be a disappointment and how you will never see an end to this does not make it easy.
‘I’m part of you. I know what you’ve done. You’ll never get rid of me.’
One way to persevere is to find hope. Find something to hold on to. Find something that reminds you that you are loved. Find something that you love unconditionally.
Its not easy. It is not always at arms length. Elena vanishing shines light on the importance of finding the ‘Right help’. It’s a memoir that shows us the good and the bad, the boring and the interesting. It shows us what it is without glorifying any part of it and personally, that’s what spoke to me the most.
You will be left with knowledge and hopefully, empathy to help the brave souls like Elena on their journey after reading her story.
