Thank God for you everyday. Ive battled an eating disorder since I was 15 years old, and addiction to heroin and pain killers since 18 years old.  I am 31 today.

Today I am winning my battle because I can believe in myself because of you. I was given hope by your willingness to share your struggles. I was not ever able to even talk openly about myself or acknowledge my battles. Today I am in treatment and getting help.

I would never have reached out for help without you Demi. You are the best, my hero. Thank you million times over.

We don’t give out an address, but feel free to post a letter on the site.

She is my inspiration!

I don’t have any problems and I thank God everyday for that. I don’t self-harm or anything. I wasn’t very aware of the pain other people go through. I’ve always been there to support my friends and my little sister with their problems and offer them advice. I realized that I’m a role model for others. I was bullied in the 8th grade, in a school that I was in for about 2 years. I was still getting to know my classmates. I was in my honors class and this kid would just put me down, in front of everyone and they’d all just laugh. I felt like it was the worst thing in the world, but I held my head high. I would cry about it later, but I wouldn’t do it publicly to let him feel superior. I remember trying to stay home, act sick so I wouldn’t have to face him in class, so I wouldn’t feel bad anymore. I didn’t want to go to school. I’d get late to class and hurry out of there as soon as the bell rang. I was trying to run away from my problems, instead of facing them. About a month later, I finally reached my boiling point and broke down. I talked to my mom about it, I remember the tears dripping down my face as I told her what was going on. It felt weird opening up to her, since I am very quiet about my feelings, even to my friends. I remember seeing pictures of Demi on the red carpet and her scars being revealed. I remember the scandal it caused in the media. I remember reading articles about Demi and her being bullied. Demi was and still is my role model. I just couldn’t bear the thought of someone as beautiful as she is being bullied, like me.. I remember reading her advice in magazines, saying that you should speak up. I talked to my teachers about my problem and the school dealt with it fast. The kid has been in my homeroom since the 8th grade and he currently sits next to me in Biology. Sometimes, I can’t stand him. But, I’ve realized I’m not alone. He has bullied others in my class, some that I hadn’t really noticed before. I told them to speak up, like I did, and they did. Some have told me that they feel more confident. I guess that this experience helps me help others, like Demi helped me. This happened to me in 2009. I still remember it and how I felt. I just want to say that Demi’s advice, even when she was still hurting, helped me. Demi, you helped me. I look up to you and you keep helping me with my battles against my insecurities. Demi, thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for everything! You inspire me to speak up and to stay strong ♥

In it, i thanked her for everything. Demi, you saved my life. You being able to build up theconfidence to go out and share your story, has given me that same confidence to get help. I have gone through self infliction and self-medication. I almost wound up in rehab when my parents found out. Everyday i remind myself to stay strong, because thats what you would do.

Aww, yay! <3

Relapse SUX! But i have your strength to help pull me back!

So i guess the title gives it all away…i have been holding up so well for the longest time! but i broke, had a relapse and cut myself again. But to be honest…I’m very surprised at the amount of time I’ve gone WITHOUT a cut! this last year- 2010-2011 was SO BAD for me,but i have to tell you how much you inspire me.Now don't get me wrong, i have always been a fan, (since camp rock 1, but i remember u on barney =])  but when i heard the whole story about your issues that you were facing and saw that they were so similar to mine i just kind of clung to every update on your status. i had to hear how you were doing, i had to see every article i could trust about you, and every youtube video i could find! it was like my life depended on your pulling through! i finally saved up enough money to buy every song i could find with your voice and to be honest i wore out about 5 of those songs =].  

I guess my point is Demi, that you have given me a reason to go through the day and say, I’m alive, i will be UNBROKEN! because i am beautiful in my own way…and i get this from YOU. i think i have told you in a million tweets, but i am a fire dancer, and for a long time i didn't want to practice, or do anything anymore just because i was to busy hating myself and cutting my arms and legs up! i could have just died and it wouldn’t have mattered at all. My eyes were closed until i saw a broadcast about cutting on the local news and saw a picture of you. I remember thinking, “what reason does she have to cut? she is beautiful, successful, everything i’m not!” so i had to find out why. i never realized your life had so many stressful elements, so much pressure. It gave me a new respect for the life of a celeb! 

Some day i hope to meet you so i can give you the biggest hug! i would tell you how much you inspire me to get out of bed in the morning and go live a life! Thank You from the bottom of my soul! i will always love you for who you are.

LOVATIC 4EVR!,
