“I think everybody has a big secret and that’s mine. And I’m proud that my big secret only hurts me, but it’s been what I’ve carried so much shame about for so long,” she said of the disorder, which began before her teenage years.
“It’s not that I used to have this problem and now I don’t,” she continued. “It’s still something that I struggle with.”
