Mandi, an eating disorder sufferer finds strength she needs to fight for recovery after seeing NORMAL
I was a patient for quite some time in your yoga classes. (from late October to just about two weeks ago to be precise). Anyway, I just wanted to write to you and tell you how much of an impact you yourself along with NORMAL have made upon me. In all honesty the entire time I was in treatment, I was convinced that I would never get better and would be fighting my way through life in and out of treatment until I died. Read more
The very last week I was there, I saw NORMAL. I had seen it before, and didn’t really think that it would affect me at all—after all, I had already seen it. Then I saw it again that night with my very dear friend. That last week was the most impactful week of treatment of all the months I spent there. Even though I don’t have the family like is depicted in the play, I felt the impact of the eating disorder for all of the people in my life who have been there for me throughout the years….even my younger brother. I’m not fighting the eating disorder anymore, I’m beating it. I know I have a long way to go, but I haven’t felt this good in years. Thank you for being a part of my treatment. I am truly grateful!
Always,
Mandi
