Audience Questions:
1. Why do I feel like I failed at my illness? I had anorexia for several years and then morphed into bulimia. But I don't really feel like being bulimic and more like a "failed anorexic".It really keeps me from wanting to get better and makes me so ashamed...

10. What causes someone like myself to get stuck in (or with) suicidal ideation? Is it because I haven’t worked through every aspect of the trauma? Or is it because I am constantly being triggered?
