Publisher Description: Eating disorders, depression, and self-injury are often taboo topics in our culture-especially within the church. Sharon Cameron seeks to change that with I'm Gonna Freaking Recover...Am I? During a four-year battle with anorexia and bulimia, Sharon faithfully journaled her thoughts, feelings, and daily struggles with self-starvation, binging, and purging in order to share her amazing, courageous journey. With raw honesty, Sharon challenges the common misconception that such issues do not exist among Christians or those who otherwise look "together." Instead of masking perfection, Sharon presents herself as an example of someone who is truthful, real, and imperfect. She describes the early days of her disease and how she felt compelled to exercise continuously to keep her "perfect" figure for gymnastics class. As her bulimia and anorexia began to manifest itself after her graduation from high school, Sharon began to spiral downward into a maze of guilt, hopelessness, and pain. I'm Gonna Freaking Recover...Am I? provides hope and comfort to those experiencing the secret thoughts, behaviors, treatment, and recovery of eating disorders. You're not alone in your struggle |
