My character is Cheryl Strayed, from her autobiography that is later adapted into a movie, Wild. After suffering the loss of her mother to cancer, Cheryl quickly slipped into depression and drug use. After suffering a miscarriage she then decided on a whim to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, a thousand mile hike with no experience and completely by herself working on the path to overcome all the chaos the loss of her mother brought her too. (Cheryl Strayed)

My final paper will have an introduction, a little bit of the experiences Cheryl dealt with after the loss of her mother which brings us to my diagnosis. Then I hope to talk about different depression treatments that one could take, and how there are studies that show expertise actually helps depression. (Olson, 2017) In conclusion, I will talk about how much trauma Cheryl put herself through but how being away and fully alone with her thoughts helped her come to terms with a lot of the problems Cheryl made for herself.

While Wild is a wonderful and world changing book, and movie because Reese Witherspoon is an absolute favorite of mine, I don’t think that Wild really shows how some people do need help with their depression. Cheryl has friends and a husband who frequently reach out to help her and she went to therapy for a little while to deal with the loss of her mother but she was so angry about it that it caused everyone to be unable to really connect with her. While those in her life expected Cheryl to be upset about the loss of her mother, and the hospital offered therapy to help her deal with that loss, I don’t think they really caught the depression in time. Or realised the magnitude of what was happening until after Cheryl started drugs and suffered a miscarriage. To have a support group that is all on the same page to help get an individual help with depression can be key. (Rubenstein, 2009) While Cheryl’s support group was fierce, no one was really talking to each other so not everyone was aware of what was happening to Cheryl until she got on the PCT by herself. After that, Cheryl’s life thankfully changed for the better.

Introduction

According to Lieber (2018), in the United States, nearly 30 million people are affected by eating disorders. One of the most common eating disorders recognized in the DSM-5 is known as Anorexia Nervosa which is characterized by “low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight which manifests itself through depriving the body of food (“Eating Disorders Victoria”, 2016). In my final project, I chose to talk about the main character who suffers from anorexia nervosa in the Netflix film titled “To the Bone”, written and directed by Marti Noxon (IMDb, 2017).

Background

In the film, Ellen is a young 20-year-old female suffering from anorexia who lives with her father, stepmother, and sister. Ellen doesn’t feel loved and seems to be having a hard time because her biological mother and father divorced. Her mother has since remarried and is now living in another state with her new partner. With all of the family issue she’s facing, her eating disorder has worsened and she’s been in and out of hospitals and treatment centers.

Assessment / Presenting Problems

Ellen is showing symptoms of anorexia nervosa because she is obsessed with not eating, she fears to gain weight, she frequently counts calories, and obsessively exercises, she even has bruises on her back from the frequent sit-ups she performs. She also faces other problems such as feeling disconnected from her mother, father, and sister. Sometimes she even feels like a burden to her family because she is often weak and very sick due to her eating disorder. Furthermore, she is also showing signs of depression due to the physical and mental issues she’s dealing with.

Treatment Strategy

I think the best treatment strategy for Ellen would be through psychotherapy, specifically individual and group therapy. I also believe that family therapy is necessary so that Ellen gets the proper support to help her throughout her treatment. In addition, therapy could also help the family work through their issues by finding ways to better communicate with each other.

Through her struggles, Ellen has clearly shown that she is resilient and is able to overcome the hardships she has faced. I believe that with the help of her microsystems (family, friends, and therapy groups), Ellen can build a network of support to help keep her accountable while in treatment. In addition, people from organizations such as her workplace and local church can also help encourage her to keep focused throughout her recovery (Miller, 2008). Furthermore, through social cognitive theory, a psychologist can help Ellen understand how her negative behaviors from not eating are causing damage to her body; the hope is to help her change those behaviors into positive ones so that she can build a healthier lifestyle (Curtin & Martz, 2008).

In a thorough essay USING YOUR OWN WORDS (worth 30 points) describe what life was like in a textile mill village (include the website, Like A Family). Include how this was also a form of labor control by the mill owners and the role of paternalism.

Here my professor comment

For instance, what was life like in the mill village? How was the community structured? What kinds of institutions (church, school, stores) were there and how did they operate to the owner’s advantage as a type of labor control? What were the houses like to live in for the workers? How did some workers seek to resist total control by the owners over their homes and communal lives?

For three consecutive years, Sam invested some money at the start of the year. The first year, he invested x dollars. The second year, he invested $2,000 less than  times the amount he invested the first year. The third year, he invested $1,000 more than  of the amount he invested the first year.During the same three years, Sally also invested some money at the start of every year. The first year, she invested $1,000 less than  times the amount Sam invested the first year. The second year, she invested $1,500 less than 2 times the amount Sam invested the first year. The third year, she invested $1,400 more than  of the amount Sam invested the first year.If Sam and Sally invested the same total amount at the end of three years, the amount Sam invested the first year is $ and the amount Sally invested the last year is $.
