Purge: Rehab Diaries (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

A quick read - I made my way through this book in almost one sitting. Johns tells the story of her trip through inpatient treatment for her eating disorder. Her memories and stories are supplemented by her contemporaneous journal entries and the documents her therapists and doctors created. It's interesting to see the treatment at work - how she moves from wanting to learn to manage the ED to wanting to overcome it. A scary and honest look at ED. I finished this book very quickly it was so enticing. It's hard coming across memoirs that don't constantly preach the whole "woe is me, my life is so hard" thing. It was refreshing to get a take on what it's like in rehab, specifically for those with EDNOS since that disorder doesn't get very much attention. She concludes the books well, showing that being the sickest isn't something to be proud of, and not taking treatment seriously isn't beneficial. I enjoyed how well it was written and the formatting, made it very easy to get through. I would 100% recommend for anyone who has struggled or knows someone who's struggled with an ED.
