I was thinking about it,

I was just trying to play together.

I'm testing that I can just let it go.

That I can't feel the pressure to go back to my life.
52
I remember a big point in my history of my mother was before me,
53
standing one morning and saw me with the trinning of my eyes and said,
54
Vanessa, I have a fear of you,
55
that you are in front of me,
56
that I see you as you will be in front of me.
57
And then I fell in the arms and immediately shot me the trinning of my eyes.
58
It was the first time I realized that I need help.

I got back to the hospital and were shot there facilities in the hospital and was determined.

When I was 14 years old,
70
I was then separated my parents.
71
This time was very difficult for me,
72
because there were so many changes.
73
I felt very lost.
74
It was like, as if the Ess-Störung would come and say, hey, I'm not.
75
And then, how would it be if we start again?
76
At this time, gave me the Ess-Störung to the extent to the rest of the day.
77
There was just a control over what I could,
78
what I could do, what I could do.
79
I needed it to be able to get everything to come.
80
Through the whole hunger and that I felt like that I felt like a lot of suffering,
81
it led to me that my desire to eat more than ever.
82
and I developed a really hot hunger.
83
That ended up in the end, that I got Fressattack.
84
Then it started to break the whole food that I ate during my Fressattack.
85
So it came to me,

that I was not only a disease, but also a Bulimie.

During this mostPOÜBtag phase of my Bulimia,

I think that when I was ritters through associations needed at a moment,
122
it was so worrying about tearing down my Week against him.

And unless you are tired of seeing vendo him coming in front while leaving Oh-oh!
128
So sadial .
129
I got to know my Essstörung really aware.
130
And it made me really proud.
131
And I saw it as a experience,
132
in which I finally achieved it,
133
as my Essstörung was better.
134
In 20 years ago, I learned my partner.
135
Oh, I was definitely not where I am today.
136
Hi, Schatz.
137
So, what do we do now?
138
Man sieht ja auch generell,
139
was den Fortschritt ihrer Essstörung angeht,
140
das sind immer kleine Schritte.
141
Aber wir sind ja mittlerweile schon seit fünf Jahren zusammen und es ging immer
142
so ein Stück weit vorwärts und es wird eigentlich immer ein bisschen besser.
143
Ein bisschen was drauf machen five years together and it was always a bit forward and it was always a bit better.
144
It was a process, but the point came on,
145
where I said, Vanessa is not the Essstörung or not by her disease,
146
but by the people I met.
147
I found Vanessa totally cool and then I said,
148
I try to help her best as possible.
149
I would say that Tim is with a lot of understanding with me.
150
He gave me no idea,
151
that he was for my Essstörung.
152
I had the feeling that he is the first person that makes me honest with this disease,
153
who tries to understand and also to support me.
154
In which you really take me to these moments in your hand,
155
and give me the arm to you and for me there is.
156
As a partner of a woman with a S-stor on a woman,
157
it's not always easy to be able to do it.
158
Because it's always...
159
You love people and that's the S-stor on a person.
160
You see how the person has to do it and how she goes sometimes out of it.
161
And to support them is sometimes not easy.
162
He comes as a partner sometimes to his side and asks himself if he can do it with him.
163
In the last five years in the relationship with Tim,
164
I noticed that my Essstorium is not only not only me but also my partner,
165
also Tim, and that I really do a lot with him.
166
It's not even possible that he does so make it with me and still always so to me.
167
What is important to you when you have an animal with a problem?
168
It's important to have an animal with a problem with a problem.
169
When the person is ready to go to a restaurant,
170
you can see them at home and be together.
171
You can't speak about the body's body.
172
You can't say, you're so thin,
173
you don't need to go.
174
Or, look, you've already taken so and so much to it.
175
It's great to be a person with an Essstörung.
176
It's often difficult to be,
177
and it's also very hard to be.
178
It's also very hard to be.
179
I wish, since I was a child,
180
I wish to have a family with children and just a mother to be.
181
And when you're older, it's just a bit of a doubt,
182
that if you have an Essstörung, it can't work.
183
Because it can also be,
184
that the body can't do it anymore.
185
And that's also a wish that I want to do it.
186
If I would meet my 11-year-old,
187
I would say I would say everything will be good.
188
You don't need this Essstörung,
189
you don't need this Krankheit,
190
you don't need to eat.
191
I learned in the last time,
192
that it is important to me,
193
to take care of myself,
194
to learn my own boundaries.
195
And if these are over-and-truths,
196
I can also be able to protect myself.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
