I was intrigued about this story of a young woman hospitalized for anorexia in Canada and what she went through and why it happened; all that stuff. I haven't experienced this and I still can't really explain or understand why she ended up the way she did, the desire to become light and a faerie and never really grow up. That sounds so fanciful and yet it turns out so horrible. Part of the issues seem to be growing up Indian in a white community but not entirely.
I certainly had questions about this. I'm not from Canada and I don't know if this would apply to an institution in the U.S. She was an in-patient in what seems like a terrible institution for a year and I kept wondering, "What happens when the insurance runs out? Who pays for this?" I can't imagine being kept somewhere for a year while doctors forced me to gain weight. And was this actually healthy? Solitary confinement and not allowed anything like books or TV for a year to entertain you, just a bed and and bed pan and four walls? Just because you won't eat? It seemed horrible and I don't know if it's really like that or if this would even help.

So, interesting, yes, but disturbing.… (plus d'informations)
