Constance has everything, a loving family, friends, dream-vacations and good grades in school. The sky seems the limit.
All is fine until that moment, during Covid, when she starts to feel different and less worthy than the beautiful people she sees evolve on social media. A new goal is set. Quickly the effort to lose weight switches from push-ups to throw-ups. Anorexia nervosa settles in and a vicious circle will grab the teenager, helpless to fight.
Two years later Constance is still ill and her once beautiful life has lost its shine. In this book Constance publishes the poems she wrote throughout the difficult years, years of eating disorder, selfharm, suicide attempts and social isolation, hoping these will resonate with others and help understand mental health issues in teenagers better.
