I'm just gonna write in first person here...episode 1 starts with an introduction where I reflect on what I heard while walking and listening to it one sunny morning.
This writing is now 8 years old, and I want to share with you what it means to me now.  
I also introduce some of the characters in Chrysalisbreak.  This story is both linear and interior. It is the back and forth of my domestic life with a husband and 3 kids, whom you will meet, and the inner voices.  Among the loudest and nastiest, is the voice of Lydia.  

Chyrsalisbreak started out as a blog which I posted on Facebook.  It was read by a few hundred people.  They told me.  You need to release this, in your own voice. So I am.
Chrysalisbreak was written because it needed to be.  After years of disordered eating where I swung from anorexia to bulimia and all the obsessive states in between, I decided I needed to simply tell the truth about all of it.  I was no longer in the extremes of these disorders, but was sinking somewhere in the middle.  Where I looked fine on the outside but suffered constantly from what my 'head' said.  I was compartmentalized.  I thought there were good parts and bad parts of myself.  I believed my 'eating disorder' was somehow separate from me.  I named her Lydia and I was trying to write her out of my life. I did end up writing things out of my life, however she was not one of them.
