A woman decides to write her biography, talking for the first time about her life. This is not a life like any other; it’s a life full of uneasiness, surrounded with resentments for her and her family. She is entering into psychoanalysis, to
understand and to solve some of her problems, to be able to finely talk about it. She is looking for a professional to help her find her real
problems and to understand the origins of them. But that is not enough. Unfortunately the tunnel of bulimia and of the anorexia that she ended up in is not yet understood or seen, and it’s one of those tunnels where the drugs and the
food is hunting you all day long forever and in every moment it is present, where everybody is talking about it and are offering it to you. In that way the hate towards food and others was born. She
wants to get out of this problem, but it’s one of the most difficult things to do. A tough experience that has origins, from affective problems, that wants to cancel her own body denying it food, wants to slowly, unconsciously die, and wants to say to the people that she loves, don’t consider her too much, that she can’t do it anymore. She is choosing a slow suicide. But fortunately, the baby she is
going to have is going to give her some energy,
energy the love. Something is happening in her brain at that point. And slowly, she conquers over it. This illness will help her see things differently, sometimes in real ways, and this is creating a non indifferent psychological uneasiness; she becomes too fragile and the sensibility is growing. The need of communication is disappearing and she closes in herself, because nobody understands her, only her son,
flesh of her flesh will give her the power and the hope of a new life that until then was just half lived.
