I have a protagonist for my new YA novel who is a recovering anorexic. She fell in with a crowd of "popular" queen-bee kind of girls her freshman year and spent the next two years trying to be good enough. As a result she became severely anorexic and has now been in therapy for several months. While she is slowly gaining weight, she is still very thin, very self-conscious, and has a difficult time being with people.
That said, I don't know a lot about the recovery process for anorexia. If anyone has dealt with this disorder, I would really appreciate hearing your story. I know it's a touchy subject, so if you'd feel more comfortable PMing me, I understand. Anything is helpful. Thanks!
