The dreadful pain and suffering of eating disorders is in the news again today. We have a father reading from his daughters journals. Two local families told Good Morning Ulster of their despair after their children died. Laurence Nugent and Danielle O'Neill were only 24 when compilations from bulimia and anorexia lead to their deaths. STEVE Seddon's daughter, Charlotte, suffered with anorexia throughout her teens. After a 4 year battle, she checked into The Priory for 4 months in the hope of finally overcoming the disease.... but 12 days later Charlotte suffered a cardiac arrest and died - she was just 17 years old. Her family has since found the diary that she kept while she was receiving treatment. STEVE wants to share some of what she had written in the hope that it may help others.
