In this week's episode, Ranae speaks to Amanda from Dublin who has battled with anorexia for most of her adult life. She has been treated as an inpatient multiple times. Amanda is in a place of active illness and her bravery in speaking to Ranae for this episode was astounding. This must have been very difficult for Amanda, but it is important for people to see the reality of what an Eating Disorder does. Perhaps even saying these things out loud, will lessen their power?
