At first glance it is seen as a trivial call for attention, but it is so much more. \u003ci\u003eThe Upside of Being Down\u003c\/i\u003e is a memoir of a teenage survivor of Anorexia written in order to destigmatize this illness so that many more can be treated. Only one in ten sufferers will seek treatment because many people don't conceptualize what eating disorders truly encompass. What may come as a surprise to many, is that weight and looks are the most insignificant part of this illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Through medical appointments and unique experiences, Carolina recounts the thoughts and actions that built up her diagnosis within \u003ci\u003eThe Upside of Being Down\u003c\/i\u003e. Much like navigating unknown seas, Carolina writes about surviving an illness that is entirely abstract and has no simple way out, while also advocating for eating disorder awareness to encourage families and people who are on the verge of giving up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Morgan James Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642797312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.38d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carolina Mejia Rodriguez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36664280776860,"sku":"9781642797312","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7736bf60-4792-4140-aaf7-fef0899bc066.jpg?v=1603906244","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-upside-of-being-down-the-life-of-a-teen-with-anorexia-9781642797312","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
