Sometimes Life is More Than I Can Stomach: How I Conquered My Eating Disorder

Psychosomatic illnesses are unfortunately very prevalent in this day and age. Many sufferers and their relatives often feel completely helpless in the face of these conditions and their progression. In this book, the author recounts her own tale of suffering. Using diary entries and narratives, she gives the reader a ruthlessly honest insight into her thoughts and the daily ordeals she went through during her more than seven-year struggle with an eating disorder. But she also offers hope for a fulfilling life. Despite her anorexia, – which later turned into bulimia, depression, and borderline disorder – she managed to free herself from this vicious cycle and now leads a content and symptom-free life with her husband and two children. Nina Federlein: “Every eating disorder sufferer has their own story. This is mine.”
