An April 28 article on the website thisisdorset.net profiled British teen Zoe Yates, who overcame an eating disorder and is now working to raise both awareness and hope among others who are struggling:
Zoe, 19, is now well on her way to recovery and has used her savings to book an eight-week adventure in Southern India. She will be travelling with a friend who she met in hospital and together they will be going to volunteer in an orphanage.
She hopes her trip will inspire other anorexia sufferers and those with mental health issues and show them that anything is possible.
She said: “I just want to let people with mental health issues know you can get better and you can change and it’s not going to be bad forever.
“You can make it. A lot of people thought I’d never turn the corner and lots of people think there’s no help for them, but everyone is backing everyone.”
