![“I’m a very strong advocate for anti-bullying, but I’ve never been able to say this is why I am such an advocate for it because from when I was bullied until now I suffered an eating disorder from the things that were said to me. The period of my life that I went through was really dark and I became very depressed and my only way of really coping with it was through my eating disorder. So I just stopped eating and that was my way of coping with it. I’ve suffered from cross addictions over the past few years. I was trying to control my eating disorder, trying to get to get help for it and when I was taking care of those things, the urges to do that [cutting] came up. So, for me it was okay to do that because I wasn’t throwing up any more.”](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk1g5qcDSe1qam7ojo1_r1_500.gif)
