Tears of Ana Mia Part 2

Caution: This video contains graphical content which might cause triggering. If you are sensitive to triggering, do not continue to watch.

This is a university project that I made to raise awareness for eating disorders. It was originally going to be a 30 minute movie with characters and a storyline but due to the usual problems of crew pulling out at last minute, budget and time, I couldn't make the project I wanted, but it still has the same purpose, raising awareness. It ended up being a trial movie for the bigger production I'm planning, which will go in more detail on the topics of anxiety, anorexia, bulimia and depression. If anyone would like to share their stories please contact me. I cut the production in two parts. Just would like to thank all the girls who helped me researched by sharing their stories! There are two versions to this movie, one for youtube which has the subtitles and then the other one has narration, which I'll be sending to film festivals.

Your video made me cry. This is what we need to see to truly understand. Not jokes about eating disorders being for the ungrateful and spoiled. We need to understand that there's a lot of pain involved.

this made me sick to my stomach. i can't believe i actually used to be like this. you don't realize how bad it looks until you see the exact same thing on someone else.

[KaylenAnn]

wow this made me cry. So powerful. And this is the truth of it all. This is what eating disorders are. They are sheer and total hell. Theres no fun and games. Its not pretty. Its not glamourous. Its ugly. Eating disorders don't create beauty and perfection. They create war with yourself and destruction beyond what the mind can even begin to imagine. There is so much pain that goes along with eating disorders that no one will ever know about because they don't know the truth.

@BubbleGumBubbleGirl Yes you are worth it.

This is really the best video about ED I have ever seen. I can't stop crying because it's so tragic, and it's so horrible and awful. I hope that all off you who struggle get out of it. It's not a way of life. Stay strong and never give up.
