Anorexia is difficult to explain to people who haven’t experienced, but it’s like every pound you lose is a new accomplished goal. For instance, if I went from 114 to 113, I considered that a success, and it made me even more motivated tnsedo lose even more weight. My father said to me last night that I looked unhealthy in my 20s, which he was correct in alleging (at my lowest weight, I was 96…

I remember my mother once divulging to me that I wasn’t weird for having to touch a doorknob four times (or sometimes up to a dozen times) before I could exit a room, to which she responded that she did the same thing.

Depression is a bit inexplicable; either you have it or you don’t, and you can’t control it. Being someone who is depressed and trying to explain to others who aren’t suffering from depression is a losing game. Imagine the closest person to you dying and mourning for them every day.

Give Pop Stars a Break

It’s not news at this point that Demi Lovato has had a troubled few weeks, prefaced by an erratic few years fueled by substance abuse. For the most part, the outpouring of support and positivity has shown that she has an immense support system.
