Sofia is 22 and spent years battling body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and depression before she started posting on Instagram under the handle @mechoosinglife. The film follows her account of that struggle and the slow process of turning a private crisis into public advocacy, using her platform to talk openly about mental illness and to reach other young people who feel trapped by the same distorted self-image. Interviews and personal footage trace how the disorder took hold, what treatment and recovery actually looked like day to day, and why silence made things worse rather than better. The documentary treats suicide and self-harm directly rather than euphemistically, framing Sofia's story as one of many rather than an exception. It stays close to her voice throughout, letting her describe relapses and small victories in her own words instead of relying on clinical narration. The result is a short, focused portrait of one young woman's decision, as she puts it, to keep choosing life.
