You Are Worthy: A Personal Story Of Recovery And Hope

Lucy's courageous personal account of her first year of recovery honestly depicts the struggles and emotional issues that many high school-age and college-age women endure as they move through the challenges of establishing their identities and finding self-worth and confidence in the midst of life transitions, setbacks, and confronting the unknown.Now a sophomore in college and in recovery from depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder, in her book Lucy erases the stigmas associated with mental illness, explains the feelings of living through the often hidden and painful reality of disordered eating, and helps motivate other young women like her to recognize their worth within their moments of darkness.As you follow the trajectory of Lucy's descent into anorexia and bulimia, and her emergence on the other side through commitment to treatment, she demonstrates that we are worthy. The most important lesson that Lucy learned during her year of treatment is never to give up hope because when you're at your worst things can only get better. An eating disorder is like an abusive realationship.If you put in the work to challenge the voice of the eating disorder in your mind, your own true voice will get stronger. Your relationship with yourself will improve. Making the decision to live a full life, taking the time to care for yourself, and connecting with people will empower you. Never forget that you are worthy of a wonderful life.
