"But I did feel like now I’m trapped in this body that is dangerous and painful and I can’t get out of: “Oh, wow, this is just like my childhood.” In order to get better I had to confront both. So there’s things that I never sort of unpacked from my childhood, from my life. Part of what kids do in s**tty situations like that is they try to blame themselves as a way to take power.

There’s only so many different diets I could try to help me get better."
