who am i?

My name is Ariel. I want to share my story to raise awareness about invisible illness/disability, to shed light on the reality of eating disorders, and – let's be honest – for the catharsis.

​

Since 2015 I've been in recovery from an eating disorder, chased health diagnoses, worked, gone to college, and left college (for now).
