I'm not going to pretend i'm superwoman or even an amazing person, beacuse i'm not. I'm just an average 15 year old who Had an ED. but I fought it.

The Bullying was so far out of control. i hated myself more than words can describe. i'd starve myself , then when my parents got suspicious i'd eat  too much just to please them and then make myself sick. i began s/h, carving the guilt and pain. i suffered an abussive relationship. After failed suicide attempts and an army of mental profesionals i started to realise that i didn't have to do any of those things. I didn't have to let them control the rest of my life.

my world started falling appart when i was 12 and even after everything i suffered i saw there was hope. i'm not going to tell you that recovery is easy, it's not. you have ups and downs, setbacks and breakthroughs but your life is worth fighting for.!

as i sit here at my computer i know i'm not out of the woods yet but i have made huge progress. I'm telling you my story beacsue i want people to know that i may not have experienced exactly what you have but i no that no matter what things will change, it's hard to believe i know. i have so much to live for, even the little things and i no that everyone reading this has sooooo much to live for as well. I haven't changed but my life has. 

if i inspire one person in the slightest it will make what i suffered worth while.

All my love and best wishes Harrie xxx
