Facing Anorexia: Hayley Grainger's Journey Through Hospitalization and Recovery

It is a way of coming to terms with your identity and really battling with that.
Imagine facing a battle that many can't see, let alone understand. In this compelling episode of 'Choose Your Struggle', host Jay Shifman sits down with Hayley Grainger, who opens up about her harrowing journey through anorexia and hospitalization. Hayley first reached out to Jay over a year ago as she prepared for her hospital stay, and since then, they've built a supportive friendship through emails, Facebook messages, and even handwritten cards.
Now, Hayley is ready to share her story with the world. This episode dives deep into the emotional and psychological challenges of living with anorexia. Hayley and Jay discuss how anorexia, much like substance misuse, is often misunderstood and stigmatized. They highlight the importance of recognizing one's vulnerabilities and the courage it takes to seek help. Hayley also talks about maintaining relationships during her hospitalization and how she's navigating life post-recovery.
For anyone struggling with mental health issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a raw, honest look at the complexities of recovery. Tune in to hear Hayley's inspiring story and gain a better understanding of the struggles faced by those dealing with anorexia.
