Daily Star recently reported on the story of the girl Nine White (21 years old, in county Merseyside, England). Accordingly, the incident at the age of 11 and the shock 2 years later caused Nine to suffer from a serious eating disorder, even walking to the “door of death” when the agencies stopped working.
“When I was about 11 years old, I unfortunately choked quite badly and ever since then, there was a kind of fear in my heart that I would choke or die every time I ate.” young woman told the Liverpool Echo newspaper.
The young girl used to have to eat through a tube for several years.
After a choking incident, at the age of 13, Nine and her family discovered her father was trying to commit suicide. Although her father was saved in time, that incident left a huge obsession in Nine’s mind.
The 21-year-old recalls: “I’d say the trauma left me feeling out of control, helpless at the thought of almost losing my father at that age. They tried to get me to see counselors at school but I cannot share that obsession.
I was badly hurt so I decided to keep all my feelings private. Later that year, I began to develop an eating disorder, as if that was how I was in control of my life.”
Nine spent the next five years with repeated hospitalizations and discharges, during which she spent a full year in a specialist hospital in Glasgow, nearly 400km from her home. During a hospital stay in March 2017, Nine was asked by doctors to perform a squat as part of a series of tests.
“When I tried to squat with my body weight at that time, I fell on my back to the floor. I couldn’t even carry out the doctor’s orders. They told me my organs were starting to stop working. If I stay at home and don’t go to the hospital, I might die.” Ninnie shared.
The change is so great that many people do not believe the two girls in the two photos are the same person.
She further revealed in a Facebook post earlier this past March: “I regularly went in and out of the hospital for 5 years, was kept under house arrest in a hospital ward, was forced to eat by 8 people. I was so scared of eating, I couldn’t even swallow a sip of water. I always need two staff members by my side because I take too much risk on myself.”
Nine’s journey to recovery began in January 2020, she told herself she wouldn’t have to go back to the hospital again. The young girl tried to change gradually, until about April 2021, she began to feed herself for the first time.
“I ate by myself for the first time in 4 years. It was scary. Even simple things like holding a spoon, holding a fork felt unfamiliar, I hadn’t done it for so long, it felt so good. strange and unnatural”, Nine recounted.
At the moment, the girl looks extremely healthy and full of life.
Nine’s father passed away in May 2021, which is a great loss but also a driving force for her determination to change for the better, not only because of her father but also because she wants to spend time with her family. In the future, family and friends will always be by my side.
