"Using raw material from my recovery journal which gives insight into what it’s like to have a destructive voice inside of your head."
For many years, Abi kept her best friend ‘Ana’ a secret from her family and other friends. Ana told her she could help get her life back on track, that she could give her back control. However, Abi later came to realise that Ana didn’t have her best interests at heart; and that ‘Ana’ wasn’t a friend so much as a destructive mental illness disguised as a friendly voice insider her head: anorexia nervosa.
But now the day has come for Abi to expose Ana to the world. Abi has broken free from her old friend Ana and has made it her purpose to share her story to instil hope for recovery in fellow sufferers of anorexia. Abi offers tips, recovery quotes and advice to both sufferers and their loved ones based on her own journey and hopes that her story will inspire others to divorce their eating disorder and embrace life beyond it.
This book follows Abi’s journey from her diagnosis to her inpatient admission and to her discharge, exposing anorexia for what it truly is in its unglamourised reality. An educative read, Me, Myself and Ana challenges stigmas surrounding anorexia nervosa and Abi hopes that the book will play a part in ensuring no sufferer is made to feel ashamed about their illness.
