Sinopse

Update: Laci is doing great! She is healthy and feeling much more like herself. Getting treatment has been fantastic. We are absolutely thrilled how well she is doing. This episode was Laci's idea. She wanted to share the experience from her perspective. It's her hope that being vulnerable with her story might help someone else who is struggling. If this is your first time hearing about her struggles with an eating disorder, here's a bit of backstory: My wife's eating disorder almost killed her (as I talked about in a previous episode: https://seanwes.com/456). If you heard the previous episode I shared, you know how bad things had gotten. After starving herself earlier in 2019, her cognitive abilities declined so severely from malnutrition, she was unable to speak a single full sentence. We could not even communicate. I had to take off work for several months to take care of her full time. Later in the year, she was having panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, and anxiety episodes that would last 6–8 hours
