I'm such an undisciplined fat ass that i couldn't be anorexic if I gave it my best. I know it's a disease, and many suffer from it's consequences and are in it's grip and I truly feel sorry for those people and hope that they recover. It just hurts to know what a sloth I am that can't keep any diet or excercise going to lose any significant amount of weight. I feel disgusted by myself one day and fine the next, like I have two people living in me who are constantly switching shifts. This makes it hard to keep trying

Hey girl, I honestly don't know many women who have a "normal" relationship with food. We have been conditioned to feel this way. If you can, try to see a nutritionist and maybe try working out, it will give you the confirmation that you are keeping healthy to the best of your ability, and it will help you with the guilt you are experiencing. This is from personal experience. I still have these types of intrusive thought patterns, but I can feel more at ease in my choices now.

Yeah, that really connected with how anorexia felt for me: a struggle towards perfectionism. It's taken me so long to unravel that relationship between anorexia and perfectionism. I always knew that it was about control, an internal power struggle, but for the longest time I didn't understand that the ends of it, the striving for an ideal, was such a significant part of it. She put it succinctly, that motivation of wanting to be good, to be perfect, and the stark contrast of reality, and perpetual disappointment in yourself.

There are bigger issues in life like our future etc. I hope this beautiful young woman finds confidence and happiness in life ♥️♥️♥️

3Attitude this was actually gave a realistic insight into an eating disorder. I had severe anorexia for over 38 years, when I first became ill in the late 70s early 80s, there was little known of how to treat eating disorders, and I had a terrible experience of treatment after being sectioned into a general psychiatric unit at 17, I was given insulin therapy ( I'm not diabetic) they gave it to force you to eat , they did not treat the reasons , just worked to put weight on, on discharge, I vowed never to seek help again, especially if it meant having anything to do with psychiatric services, I developed an absolute terror of psychiatrists following my admission. I did end up having many medical admissions and a medical consultant kindly was very understanding and I developed a trust in him. Eventually I became so unwell and believed that recovery was impossible after being ill for so long and by this time, my body had developed some very serious physical problems following so many years severely underweight and malnourished and I was admitted to our local hospice for end of life care. But without going into details, I managed to gain some hope that maybe I could recover and I should maybe believe that the barbaric treatment I had been subjected to at 17, was no longer used and that treatment was so much better now and eating disorders, where much better understood, It was very scary for me, but a psychiatrist came to see me at home and assured me that I could leave at any point if I would at least agree to at least go and give recovery a go, at the private clinic which was 45 miles away from home ....I was so glad I did trust him, I was an in -patient for 11 months, and did better than they expected me to do, however real recovery begins when you go back into your home environment , sadly dispite being told that it's on discharge that you really need most support, my ed team in my own town, really let me down and although I held my own and did not relapse, I also did not move forward for another year either, until I managed to get my own support network and I then was to get to the point I am today, which is the best I have been in over 40 years, finally living and not just existing. My one bug bare is the criteria for other ed suffers who are desperate for treatment, but are told they are not low enough in weight....this is crazy, the earlier that this illness is diagnosed and treated the better the outcome, I was 40 years locked in at a very very low body weight, my mind too starved to even contemplate help, I have also known people be as anorexic in their mind at a normal weight, as they were when they were way down the scale, if the mind is not treated, then putting weight on the body alone will not cure the illness and this is where a lot of suffers end up committing suicide following discharge, there needs to be treatment that is not based on weight alone, but how the mindset is, and there needs to be much better support for sufferers after discharge.

Everyone says how beautiful she is, but if she wasn't that pretty, would the empathy be less for her? People are so cruel. Think about it - how much of our judgement relies on looks and how little are people nowadays caring about deeper things. I find this disgusting. She is an amazingly beautiful creature for her sacred soul. The humbleness, the kindness, the warmth in her voice, the eyes that tell that she is struggling, but she is strong and she is fighting with it. This makes her beautiful, you superficial people. In her mind, she is not a supermodel, she is struggling to find her place in the world and stop the pain. I wish I could tell her that she is not alone. There are so many if us who struggle everyday, fighting different battles. And nobody knows if you "look gorgeous". Duh, humanity wake up! It's more than about how you look.

When people have suffered anorexia for a while and have lost a lot of fat, the body stops feeding off of the fat so much and begins eating their muscle tissue. So yes, they do begin to lose muscle usually after they lose fat. This is also why they have a higher risk for heart problems; the heart is a muscle as well, so all of their muscles, including the heart, start to weaken and deteriorate. Also Dominique seems to be reeeally tall so that's probably why she looks extra slim and kind of "long". o:

As an older woman, I can say that women have a very difficult time being women. We're supposed to be so perfect in every way. Plus, we have to be good at everything cause we're eternally having to prove we can do it, whatever!! Be thin, attractive, good at our jobs, good wife and mother, run our homes.....do the grocery shopping, go to the gym.....try to please everyone, deal with our hormone and mood ups and downs ......list goes on and on. If I look at my great grandmother....well, of course we've come a long way. But, we have a long way to go yet. We got rid of corsets, but still haven't done so with stilettos, with plastic surgery to keep us looking young, with having to dye our hair, with spending lots of $$$ on beauty stuff like make up, perfumes, creams, etc, etc. Compare what men spend on theirselves, in time and money! Fashion makes us wear unconfortable things, just because they are fashionable. Why are women so naked and cold at weddings and parties, while men are nice and warm? I've always wondered that. Why don't men have to take off their shoes because of their aching feet? Why don't men's new shoes give them blisters and aches? Just wondering.....

Today I'm 100% healthy and vegan ;p I owe a huge thank you to medicinal marijuana for helping me through my anorexia. With that being said, you got this girll

thank you for showing the reality of an eating disorder, rather than the stereotype the media hang onto. It is NOT about losing weight or being thin; even for the women and girls who believe it is. For me, i developed severe eating disorder during the chch earthquakes. I had such severe anxiety, and the trauma of the quakes triggered old trauma from childhood. I hated being underweight. i lost so much weight it was obvious to everyone around me I was not ok, and i felt such intense SHAME that i was losing weight and that it was so noticeable. it felt like i had the words 'mentally unwell' tattooed across my forehead. For me the eating disorder was about 'managing' my PTSD symptoms. Eating triggered them; engaging in eating disorder behaviours (starvation, etc) gave me something else to focus on. It gave me a (false) sense of control, and it felt like the only control i had. Ironically of course, i had no control at all, it had control over me and it was an incredibly painful road to recovery; but i have made it and i am free of it altogether.

I went to school with her and I had no idea, but she is truly so strong

Oh my god you people are so shallow. But then again that’s how v r taught to think in this world haha

Finaly a documentary I can watch and think "yeah that's true" or "that's it" whitout stereotypes like "they see themselves overweight" and these stuff. A documentary focused on others jugment, isolation, social anxiety and all the struggle deep inside, family anxiety awareness, rather than scratched the surface and only focused on food and weight. Thank you for this.

Shoutout to her trainer. It’s amazing how well she works with her. I’ve had trainers push me to injury because they don’t listen when I talk about my ED and disabilities

You can just see how broken she is😔 feel so much for her so much respect and love❤️

She is a remarkable young woman with a clearly very deep intelligence. Sometimes those that create beauty and bring that to others are the ones who suffer deepest. Seeing and feeling a range not felt by many others. Best wishes.

I knew someone who had anorexia, but didn't know until it was too late to do anything about it. Seeing this then breaks my heart, because here I see the hidden struggles they must have gone through and the chances I missed to help. It may seem daunting but people battling anorexia, like she says in the film, need compassion and empathy first of all and that's something we can all provide. Dominique here looks so sad and she doesn't deserve to be and I'm glad for her she was able to fight back against this horrible disease.

This is one of the most informative videos on anorexia nervosa that I have ever seen.

She's so well-spoken and an amazing artist, I hope she gets better someday.

I'm glad that she said anorexia isn't a voice in your head when i had anorexia people told me what the voice inside my head was telling me like it gave me instructions or something but it didn't it's just a mindset that's there you think it and you believe that's what's going to happen but it's not people made me feel miserable asking about voices made me feel crazy i didn't have voices or someone else with eating disorders and were not crazy mine started when i was 13 i wanted to diet cause i was chubby i didn't really care about my body image tho in that moment it were just comments of family or other people i didn't go on a diet cause i really wanted i did it for other people anorexia isn't a choice it's not like one day you decide to just not eat a lot of people say it's a choice this clearly comes from people who don't know anything about it no anorexia slowly sneaks up to you without you knowing it slowly it get worse and worse until it takes the place of your whole mind if young girls are reading this please don't go on a diet to make others happy and please don't diet at all unless it is really necessary you are beautiful the way you are even tho you think your not anorexia ruins everything so please just try to see the good sides of your body try to get another view of it a positive view :)

Her eyes tell a story that everyone needs to hear but nobody wants to hear. You can tell that she is truly guarded because of the worlds judgement on her. Her mindset at the end is amazing though. People can take you for what you are. Which is *courageous and strong* or not. Just keep Believing in yourself. I don’t know you. But you have more to offer to this world. So keep pushing.

I rode past Dominique in Auckland earlier this year while riding push bikes with my mum, this really hits home and I wish I had stopped and given her a hug or something. Thanks for the great documentary and also to Dominique for being so brave and speaking up about the condition and having it posted online for everyone to see and comment on. Stay strong and I hope you are doing well.

Claire Gaskell Why would you want control over food? Not eating leads to very bad things, namely anxiety and lack of energy to do anything its the worst possible idea to try and gain some semblance of control in your life thats not going the way you want.

I felt guilty eating chips while watching this. Now I realize that I should feel lucky to be able to eat what I want, when I want without having to fight an ED to do so. I hope one day Nichi feels like eating chips and just eat chips, too.

I think you could eat only a bag of chips a day and be just as healthy, but why not give up junk food altogether and have an even healthier mind & body? Also, I think it's ok you feel guilty when you eat junk food, only taking this mindset to the extreme can cause eating disorders.

Hello just checking in how are u now? I believe ur probably 23 or 24 it’s been a long way and I’m curious

It sounds very similar to OCD. People with OCD set a very high standard for themselves and they keep upping that standard one more level because they're never fully satisfied with themselves. It's basically like an addiction to perfection. But Dominique is a beautiful person and I'm glad that she's learned that she needs to be kinder to herself.

She's so beautiful and strong. I wish I had a friend like her because she understands.

Hope she is much better now. Anorexia not only destroys the body, but also locks a person's mind inside herself. Such extreme myopia can have no effect but misery and ennui. Wish the experts could find a therapy to shake sufferers loose from their constant focus on themselves that excludes everything and everyone else in the universe.

This is the first time I have seen parents where both of them genuinely understand and want to help. I especially love the fathers strength, going through both his wife and daughter having eating disorders and not having resentment, but empathy is more than admirable ❤️❤️❤️ I wish this family the best through all this ❤️

I had an eating disorder since 9 as I can remember.Its absolutely horrible!!!!!!!I send prayers to all the ppl who have an eating disorder.Its not good for anyone.Nomater what we all need to eat .Thats just not so easy when u have a problem with food.I was bulimic from 12 to 24 and now I'm 30 and I still battle with an eating disorder.But I always try to understand I need to be healthy.Eating disorders suck,but recovery is right around the cormer.We deserve a life ,,,a healthy Life😲🎀😲🎀🍬🍬🍬

"If youve gone without it for oen day, you're okay to go without it the next." SO true!!

I would rather be too thin than be fat. I will not eat myself into fat. I was always thin then i got sick and it caused me to gain weight. I am now taking it serious to get the weight off. I will never go back to eating. I eat so little, lettuce, veggies maybe a tiny piece of chicken breast. I eat only once a day and very little. A person can get use to not eating much and learn to ignore the hunger pains. I will not go back to being fat. I weigh 180 and i find it horrific. I am losing weight now a whole 20 pounds in a short time ( few weeks ). I will keep going and never go back to fat again. I am not anorexic, never was. But i would rather be hungry than fat. So, that is my story on how fat makes me feel. *

Real

My anorexia found me at 7, I had heart failure and still struggle every single day. Like Dominique I can relate to so so much that she's experienced. Although my belief system also encompasses a voice that tells me things too

I've been going in and out of treatment since I was 13 and Dominique definitely shed light on what living with anorexia really is like. However, despite managing to recover from my eating disorders, this video served as a glimpse at how life was for me back then. Watching her and hearing what she had to say just broke my heart. Her expressions, her fear -- I've been there and I just want to give her a big hug. I can tell that she's a tough girl. I wish her the best.

JenRose89 I have suffered myself. addictions can be stopped with love and connection. root of anorexia is usually feelings of isolation, not belonging, alienation, obsessive behaviours, even personal boundaries (being taken advantage of or having no freedom). I have gotten out of anorexia to eating a whole food diet and it feels amazing. I really hope you can make the first step of thinking that it is possible not to live with it in the future, because I was there and now I am "healed". your addiction is a plaster, it serves a purpose in your life and that is why you are doing this. but every journey begins with the first step. I dont know you in real life and so I hope this doesnt sound creepy but I believe in you. take it easy and look up what it means to love yourself (what person that loves themselves would do, do that). freedom is within you.

ANOREXIA IS NOT ABOUT THE FOOD. Anorexia is a coping mechanism.

Just started recovery and I relate so much to her thoughts. This was well done. Mine came to a head at 35, after GI illness. Going from 250 to 150 lbs in a year with no effort is intoxicating when you’ve been bullied your entire life for your weight. Before that, I had some “disordered eating” for sure. Mom and grandmother, too.

I’m 35 and I feel like such a failure to still be struggling with this. Even though I have a lot of support from my husband and ED therapist. I’m just so ashamed.

As an anorexic myself, I would say that she needs to get better herself (FULLY recover) in order to be able to help others.

Wow. What a thoughtful, caring and sensitive documentary. Thank you so much girls. Especially you Dominique for being so brave and giving us some insight into the nightmare that is anorexia. I wish you the very best and pray you will find victory over the very real struggle you are in. God bless.

Sorry for being blunt, but you have more control than you think you have. Activation or suppression of gene expression can change over a person's lifetime (see epigenetics). And yes, mental illnesses are highly heritable (think about personality which is 50% heritable), but you still can try to do something about them (CBT, meditation, etc) rather than being complacent.

Thank you for sharing your sister's story. My 13 yr old was diagnosed with anorexia and the journey has started. Your documentary was educational and I appreciate you and your sister sharing her story.

Dominique seems to be such a beautifull soul, she is calm and has a beautiful voice, she is strong. It is so sad to see so much sadness in her eyes. This is the first time I understand what an «old soul» is. I hope she will do better coping with society...

Anorexia is a mind fight between you and your brain but if you give up it will wins and you know what I mean.. So try to fight, you only live once❤️

I hope you both keep creating art. The creativity and beauty in the film stood out and her portraits. Wow!!!!!!

She seems so strong. I hope, and believe, that she will fully recover and get to go through with the end goal of opening that treatment center. The idea she has for the center sounds perfect and very helpful. She is very inspirational
