Beke Worthmann knows what it means to suffer from anorexia: she struggled with an eating disorder at the age of 13, which she has fortunately overcome today after a fierce battle. In "Your Life Has Weight," ten adolescents with anorexia and Beke herself share their stories of illness: they talk about their feelings, their personal experiences with the disease, and also about their everyday lives—the "normal" life of a teenager with an eating disorder. Through the unique empathy of the young author, complex portraits have emerged that show how multifaceted this illness is and what it means differently for each individual. In the second part of the book, a psychologist and senior physician shares her insights, answering Beke's questions openly and with great compassion. The book also includes a directory of the best German clinics, options for supported living, and assistance facilities.
