Disney Land Paris is the place where dreams come true, this was what my family and I were told on arrival at our long awaited holiday. I was sixteen years old at the time and had just completed my GCSEs. After a long hard struggle to get through my exams I definitely needed a break. I’d lost a stone in weight in just a few weeks and felt broken in every way through tiredness. I’d spent most nights guzzling water and going to the toilet. I had no idea why this was happening to me, no one did.
