Nourishment

"By the time I was eleven years old, I’d already been on fifteen medications, seen ten doctors, been diagnosed with six disorders, and gone to five schools. . . . Through the nineteen years I’ve been alive, more of my time has probably been spent in doctor’s offices, treatment centers, and hospitals than with friends. After coming home from my first treatment center at the age of fifteen, I decided the time had come for me to try and make sense of everything."     By Melissa Binstock
