"Why was it my friends who died? Why was I the one who was depressed? Why didn't my suicide attempt work? At times it felt…I felt pretty abandoned. Where could God possibly be in all of this mess?"
Today's guest is Jenna, who struggled for years with Anorexia Nervosa. In this episode, Jenna will talk about her symptoms, ways she coped, her hospitalizations, ebbs and flows of the disease, and finally, where she is today in her struggle.
