The Early Years

At the age of 11, when I developed anorexia nervosa, I began my first diary. In the decades since, the diary has served as a survival tool, a coping tool, a healing tool and self-care tool. My memoir, A Girl Called Tim, released in 2011, brought my diaries to life and inspired my first website, junealexander.com.

In 2017, upon the release of another book, Using Writing as a Therapy for Eating Disorders, my first website was absorbed into The Diary Healer. I am delighted that my hundreds of early blog posts from 2012 to 2017 are safely preserved, and you can access them here.
