Sarah Rav, an 18-year-old from Melbourne, Australia, developed anorexia, which she did not detect for a long time. It all began with a medical university student’s desire to stay in shape. She ran every day and adhered to a diet. However, Sarah progressively lost control of herself. In pursuit of the imagined ideal, the girl cut her daily caloric intake to 300-400 and increased her jogging time dramatically.

“My feet were bleeding when I got home. “Sometimes I ran so far away that I didn’t know where I was,” she says regretfully. As a result, the student’s weight dropped to 30 kg, her hair started falling out, her nose bled frequently, and her bones hurt. And she was continuously fatigued. The Daily Mail reports that representatives from Sarah’s institution interfered in the case.

They told the girl that she could only attend classes if she was approved by a therapist and a psychologist.Sarah was admitted to the hospital for anorexia nervosa. She was banned from getting up and forced to eat high-calorie food, the taste of which she had forgotten. “It is difficult for a person with a mental illness to admit that he suffers from it,” the child stated.

However, the girl was so determined to finish her education that she followed everything the experts advised.The treatment was beneficial: she gained 19 kg and discovered a reasonable attitude to exercise. Sarah, 22, now eats healthily and works out regularly. And still trying to become a doctor.
