Heartbreaking! The documentary about 18-year-old Emma (Emma wants to live) who fights against anorexia made quite an impression on everyone and everything. Wherever you looked… Emma was the center of attention! Emma has won many hearts, 'pity Emma that you can no longer see what you have accomplished' but which might not have happened if you were still there. What a strange sensation, what a strange sentence! The meaning of life that was no longer of any use to you. You fought and fought and left an indelible impression that no one can take away from you! Anorexia Nervosa has won in your case, but your impressions live on.
Emma breaks the taboo.
Anorexia, a subject that is not discussed every day. A subject you'd rather tuck away, a far-from-my-bed show, a subject far from positive. But also a subject that should certainly not be pushed under the chairs or benches. Emma breaks the taboo but it costs her the life she wanted to live.

Anorexia Nervosa, also known as an eating disorder, is a mental illness and is caused by an accumulation of different factors. The disorder can seriously affect your life and unwittingly cause it to completely control you. Unintentionally! But it can also feel like a friend, a kind of support. The feeling of having power over something that you can influence yourself so that you can forget about what you have no control over or have had no control over. Your compulsion for control is optimal, but it ultimately results in loss of control. Pretty intense if you think about it carefully.
This can of course happen to anyone. It is true that Anorexia Nervosa is most common in women. Especially in girls who are going through puberty. They are discovering themselves and that discovery is sometimes quite heavy, intense and makes you despondent.
Sometimes it even feels hopeless. They feel they are fat, not pretty enough, or want to be slimmer. In these modern times there is a lot of emphasis on healthy eating, losing weight and exercising. Everywhere we look we see beautifully toned female bodies, über healthy meals, selfies of hours of sweating in the gym and oh yeah… all sugars are poison! The world goes on! And what if you are sensitive to it? Of course, other factors also play a role. Bad memories, low self-esteem, heredity, emotional events, they can all contribute to this heartbreaking disease. Terrible!
