Woman's Raw Illustrations Show The Reality Of Battling An Eating Disorder

Warning: Some of the below images may be considered upsetting or triggering to those who have struggled with disordered eating. After four years of battling eating disorders, Christie Begnell found healing in art. The results are honest and striking illustrations, which have been compiled together in a book, Me and My ED. Each image represents the harsh reality of living with anorexia and OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder). Guess who finally finished the e-book?! (This gal! ) . If you guys love my drawings, you're going to love 'Me and My ED'. Its a picture book that depicts life with one of the most complex and misunderstood illnesses (Eating Disorders). It includes pictures showing the purpose of an ED (control, numbing, safety, etc) and how difficult it is to live with a demon in your mind. This book has helped me and many others understand their illness and be able to show others how it feels. When you can't verbalise your thoughts, or even write them down, don't turn to ED behaviours, pick up this book and show your loved ones . Get your e-book today by clicking the link in my bio!
