ELENA VANISHING


Elena Dunkle in 2008

WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF ELENA DUNKLE!

ELENA VANISHING is my memoir, the story of my life and almost-death with adolescent anorexia nervosa.

Each life has value. And to believe in that means I must believe in the value of my own tiny life. And so, I do. Maybe one day I will give back all that I have been given.
"Each life has value. And to believe in that means I must believe in the value of my own tiny life. And so, I do. Maybe one day I will give back all that I have been given."

Anorexia nervosa once ruled my life. Even now, I have to work every single day on my recovery.

Because I am an anorexia survivor and because I have lost good friends to this deadly illness, I am passionate about reaching out and speaking with others about it. The more we all share what we know about anorexia nervosa, the more help there will be for its next victim.

Elena Dunkle's therapy art: Stop stressing! Love has a color and a name. Time to talk. We all walk in different shoes.
