Estoy aquí : Todo lo que le conté a mi diario sobre mi trastorno alimentario

Just shy of her fourteenth birthday, Maria's life comes to a screeching halt. What for her is merely a "goal" —controlling her body, losing weight, being enough— becomes a diagnosis she utterly rejects: an eating disorder. Completely bewildered, she is admitted to a hospital and locked in a room she can't open. There, surrounded by rigid routines, meal schedules, and the incredulous stares of adults who think they know better than she does, she begins to write a diary to keep from falling apart. Through these pages, we discover a raw and radically honest teenage voice. Maria describes the denial, the rage, the fainting spell that prompts her mother to react, the helplessness of her family, the overwhelming love of her little brother, the unexpected refuge of some fellow patients she calls "Blue Bracelets," and the contradiction of wanting to leave only to return to the very thing that is destroying her. After two months in the hospital, she is discharged… and so is the relapse. Emergency room visits, fear, a second chance, and finally, a much longer and more intensive stay in a specialized center. There, Maria lives with other girls who have gone through similar experiences and discovers that healing isn't just about food: it's about understanding pain, confronting what hurts, and holding on when your mind wants to disappear. Between grueling therapies, calls on an old Nokia, supportive teachers, professionals who set boundaries, and friendships that become lifelines, Maria truly begins to look inward.
