Book Cover & Preview Text
I was committing suicide. I was slowly stopping my heart from beating. All I wanted was for the pain to go away. I left several suicide notes. Many of them written within the paragraphs of my English college essays, where no one would ever notice. Every cup of coffee I drank, every final I studied for, every pill I took were all bringing me closer to death.
You see… I was killing myself, but not on purpose.
This is my story.
My story of how I was diagnosed with almost every gastrointestinal disease known to man before the age of 21.
This is the story of a young lady, who at the age of 16 would wake up to the horror of an instant burning sensation in her esophogus the second she opened her eyes. The pain was equivalent to holding my hand over an open flame on a candle and keeping it there ALL DAY. It hurt when I ate, it hurt when I didn’t eat. Even drinking water was painful. This pain persisted for over a decade, all while I became a functional part of society and a successful professional by many standards.
This is also the story of how I eventually refused the diagnoses from many different experts and decided to choose a new life.
