Sher's Struggles with Mental Illness

Sher first began experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety in her early teens. She felt overwhelmed by sadness and hopelessness, and she had difficulty concentrating and sleeping.

Sher's mental health struggles continued into adulthood. She was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and she was prescribed medication to help manage her symptoms.

Sher's experiences with mental illness are common. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, one in five adults in the United States experiences mental illness each year.

Mental illness can be a debilitating condition, but it is important to remember that it is treatable. If you are struggling with mental illness, please seek help from a mental health professional.

Sher's Experiences with Body Dysmorphia

In addition to mental illness, Sher also struggled with body dysmorphia. Body dysmorphia is a mental health disorder in which a person has a distorted view of their own body. People with body dysmorphia may believe that they are overweight or obese, even when they are not.

Sher's body dysmorphia began in her early teens. She became obsessed with her weight and appearance, and she began to restrict her food intake.

Sher's body dysmorphia was so severe that she developed an eating disorder. She was hospitalized for anorexia nervosa, and she spent several months in treatment.

Body dysmorphia is a serious mental health disorder. It can lead to eating disorders, self-harm, and even suicide.

If you are struggling with body dysmorphia, please seek help from a mental health professional.

Sher's Journey Towards Self-Acceptance

Sher's journey towards self-acceptance was a long and difficult one. She had to learn to accept her mental illness and her body dysmorphia. She also had to learn to love herself for who she was, not who she thought she should be.

Sher's journey towards self-acceptance is an inspiration to anyone who has ever struggled with their own self-esteem.

In Lessons From The Edge, Sher writes:

I'm not perfect. I have my flaws. But I'm learning to accept myself for who I am. I'm learning to love myself for who I am. And that's the most important thing.

Lessons From The Edge is a powerful and inspiring memoir. It is a story of hope and resilience. It is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled with their own mental health.
