My Battle with Anorexia Nervosa

ABSTRACT I have had an ongoing battle with anorexia nervosa for several years. It came to a point where I had to choose between life and death. One teacher in particular helped me begin my road to recovery. Although I am no longer in the acute phases of the disorder, I still battle every day to keep my perfectionism in check, to use it to help me and not harm me. This article is my personal story, which I hope will be meaningful to others who struggle with eating disorders or who teach those who do.
