The Upside of Being Down shows the winding paths that are the
thoughts that go through one's mind, and the debilitating symptoms
that come alight with Anorexia Nervosa. Anorexia Nervosa is an
illness misunderstood by many. At first glance it is seen as a
trivial call for attention, but it is so much more. The Upside of
Being Down is a memoir of a teenage survivor of Anorexia written in
order to destigmatize this illness so that many more can be
treated. Only one in ten sufferers will seek treatment because many
people don't conceptualize what eating disorders truly encompass.
What may come as a surprise to many, is that weight and looks are
the most insignificant part of this illness. Through medical
appointments and unique experiences, Carolina recounts the thoughts
and actions that built up her diagnosis within The Upside of Being
Down. Much like navigating unknown seas, Carolina writes about
surviving an illness that is entirely abstract and has no simple
way out, while also advocating for eating disorder awareness to
encourage families and people who are on the verge of giving up.
