She Believed She Could and So She Did

In 2018, on my 58th birthday, I lie in the hospital with life-threatening eczema and its multiple complications, not knowing my life's destination.

My Beloved, gifted me a bracelet with the inscription, "She believed she could and she did." I wasn't able to wear it because of the intense inflammation on my skin, so for years it sat buried underneath other jewelry.

The start of clinical trials

Back in 2011, my life had come to a screeching halt. I was bed-bound like a burn victim, and in unbearable suffering for the 5+ years that followed. It was then that I was introduced to clinical trials, which I would become dependent on for my survival. I desperately hoped to find "THE ONE" that would hopefully give me my life back.

Love: The Key To Recovering From Eating Disorders

By Jude Weber

Eating disorders can be crippling, but there is hope for long-term recovery

Do you know how many people have eating disorders? The statistics are shocking; 9% of the U.S. population, or 28.8 million Americans, will have an eating disorder in their lifetime, so if you eat too much or too little, you are not alone and may be suffering from an eating disorder issue.

How do eating disorders start

As a very young child, I figured out how to survive the terror I lived with. My best coping mechanism to stay alive was food. While I’m so grateful that I had something so available to make me feel any sense of safety, like a best friend, eventually, that relationship and all of its complications nearly killed me. As a souvenir, I have been left with a potpourri of health hurdles that I have had to manage. What are eating disorders, and what are the symptoms of eating disorders? It can be either starving or overeating, but it’s all about not being able to handle the pain inside.
