This song is so perfect, reminds me when i would be hiding in the bathroom of school putting make-up on, sad andwondering why I didnt get as much attention as all the popular girls.
The songs slow and magazine are both me. because Iv'e tried to kill myself three times and I still have problems with my body image. I stopped trying to 'm halfway better.
I have already gone 12 days without eating (i have had nothing to eat, and to drink only a bottle of water every 24 hours) and i was wondering how much longer can i go without passing out or causing other health problems? I am tired all the time which makes it hard to do anything and i can hardly sleep at night. Is there anything i can do (not counting eating) that will help me sleep better?
Proud to be a survivor :3 It's been four years since I saw that girl and I'm a healthy 105 lbs. Find yourself and don't lose sight. I lost precious years of my life from this sickness.
HOW DO UNDER 1000 PEOPLE LIKE THIS???? i love this song not going to lie it makes me cry every time i hear it i am telling every friend i have to listen to it and like also yes please on itunes ? :D
Really good doesn't even begin to describe this. It's amazing. you have a beautiful voice and the song is so meaningful. I really wish I could download this, it definitely needs to be on iTunes.
What a beautiful song. I have never struggled with anorexia but my aunty had it so bad that when I was three she weighed the same as me. I wish she had heard this song when she was struggling. Bless u xx
This is beautiful I became anorexic wen I was 11 nd 4 years l8r I still really struggle badly with it it's nice to no Thers so many ppl who can relate and I'm not alone,amazing song
i don't eat at all, and when i am eating with family i spit out my food into a napkin and throw it away, or i just scooop some of the food into the napkin when no one is looking and then throw it away, i am fat but people say i am a stick even alot of guys but i do not believe them so i no longer eat and when i do i eat vegetables and fruit
i read the description and hun... i go through exactly the same as you... image is always on my mind and what i should and shouldn't be eating... whether i exercise it off or not.. i had anorexia symptoms last year like you did.. but i didnt become too unhealthy and when i started eating normally again i gained weight and became depressed so i binged and purged... now im trying to recover by eating normally but every day is a struggle.. i love you and hope you find your true happiness soon:)
I love it and I think it's a great thing you did, trying to help out those who do that to themselves. It's really a shame, but I hope you girls inspire them.. :)
I completely understand this because in April 2011 I found out that I am anorexic. I never thought that it was this serious until they told me that I am way under weight. I am 16 and I weigh 86 pounds. I am so scared. I eat daily. The doctors found out that whenever I am stressed I don't eat. But now whenever I hear this song it brings me hope. I love this song so much!
hey, love the song.. im suffering from anorexia and am just starting recovery/treatment (i think... i hope...). i play a little guitar and i'd like to learn how to play your song.. may you please post chords/tab or even a tutorial video? id really like that... thankyou...
wow... listening to this song made me cry.. it's like you've taken the stories of millions of people, including me, and put it into song... i love this song. thanks so much for uploading it.
And I weighed myself then. I went from 100lbs to 73lbs in 5 weeks. I JUST got my weight back up to 96lbs. I'll be 14 next month. This happened last month. Anorexia is a scary eating disorder. If you think you may be anorexic, don't just sit there. GET HELP! My doctor told me I was close to dying. Because I wouldn't eating. My organs were close to shutting down. So please. Get help. Don't ruin your body. You're perfect the way you are. NEVER forget that!
Her songs make me cry. Her song Slow about Suicide. That was me. I've tried to commit suicide sooo mny times. This song. It's me too. I was once anorexic. After I had surgery I saw my body and everything shattered. I stopped eating and I became thin. Too thin. You could see my hip bones and ribs. I was in a size 0 before and I couldn't even fit my jeans. And then something told me to look in the mirror and really LOOK. What I saw shocked the hell outta me. I looked like skin and bones.
This is beautiful. It not only affects people with eating disorders and self image dissillusions, but everyone who has compared themselves to them. Props to you ladies, a gorgeous song and story. <3
This was a really beautiful song. As someone recovering from Anorexia and really moving forward, I found this song very inspiring. Thank you for posting! I am definitely favoriting this.
This song explains the disease so well, it's crazy. Mine started because of many different reasons, one was because I wanted to be small and thin like one of my best friends. I compared myself to her at times and I knew I'd never look like her and I was jealous. But, I can't do anything about because everybody has different body structures; everybody is beautiful. Thank you for making this song. It really brought a tear in my eye. We can do it; we can beat this. iTunes please? THANKSS <3
<3 I know what your going through. I've been through it too. I've hit rock bottom. I finally got the stength to stand back up. I believe in myself now. I still restrict but I'm getting better one day at a time. You can do it, and I can do it too. <3
Can this please be on Itunes? When I clicked this song I started to cry once she started to sing. This song just really tells the truth about girls today. Thank you.
iv had a probliem with my body and weight sints b4 i can remeber i allways remebered geting on the scale trying not to look obsessed when i was 11 i was only 80 pound at 5feet tall 13 years old 90pounds 5 foot 2 now im allmost 15 5 foot 3 and im 122 i feel so fat about last september i had started eating i was only 110 pounds when i started i gained so much and i cant stand it im doing thangs i never did b4 im benging and purging and then wont eat i get on the scale sevrel times a day
i have cut myself it seems like a good idea. It's not. when i did no one found out for a couple weeks only because i was normally sad and depressed (emo personality) i had told my friend she made up all these rumors and lied when i asked her it got to the counselor and was very embarrassing. she told my parents and i was put in therapy. which is annoying bcause i wouldve liked to have them 4get but i was put through more at the counselor dont go down my path.
Im @ a very stressful point in my life & having a very hard time handling it I have a history of cutting, anorexia, overdosing, & almost anything else some1 could think of as a way 2 avoid stress/life After almost 2 years since I have recovered from the anorexia I started skipping meals again early last week but I believe its doing more harm then good this time @ this point Im considering cutting myself just so I can get through all this b.s & make it 2 tomorrow Does any1 have any suggestions?
I love this song it's so truth! You say like your not alone,theres planty more girls out there! Oh I♥ this song . It's the most beautiful song i've heard about anorexia ever.
@dancindiva12028 With bulimia, it destroys your body. Your teeth rot, your esophagus gets severe damage and you can easily die from electrolyte imbalance. Hospitals, therapy and group therapy are great helps for it. It is a problem. I didn't think anorexia was a problem until I almost died from a hypoglycemic coma.
I'm only 12. My eating disorder started when i was 9. Right around the same time my parents got divorced. My sister got pregnant at an early age. My brother went away to the army. I was alone. Nobody noticed my loss of weight. It was easy avoiding eating. We never ate dinner together anymore. My dad didn't live with us anymore. My mom worked a lot. My sister moved out with her boyfriend. My brother was gone. I was always alone. i still feel like i am. this is a story of my life. in a way..

I listen to this song at least three times a week. I'm wishing it will help me stop starving myself, hoping that it will help me eat normally and stop purging.. But nothing seems to help. May I sing this for my school's talent show? Maybe it will help people see how broken I am. And maybe, just maybe, someone will help me.
@FannyMiley OMG if your bulimic, you NEED to get help!!! bulimia and anorexia can both KILL you if you don't get help! when i was 12 one of my friends who only weighed 75 pounds (and was underweight) thought she was fat! fortunately, her mom found out, and she got help.
I don't know you, you don't know me. But, that's okay. Because I know what you're going through. And I look at the starry heavens to thank Christ we can get through this. Thank you so very very much for posting. :)
I have a stomach condition (after five months you'd think the doctors would know what it is right? NO! they're fucking idiots..) that prevents me from eating red meat, processed food, dairy, acid foods, red sauces, and I can't eat more than 8 grams of fat a day because I can't digest any of that stuff (FUCK MY LIIIIFEEE!!!) so everybody thinks I'm anorexic because im 5'4" and 85 pounds... but I'm not.. it sucks. a lot.
I'm just starting recovery this is keeping me strong I'll be healthy soon I promised myself this and my loved ones. Those who thinks this is a game or think its fun, its not it ruined my life don't let it ruin yours too. You are beautiful even if you don't think so. I love this song absolutely perfect.
@xbrokenlybeautifulx I agree with you its not fun its not some game. I recovered from anorexica but i live with it and fight it everyday. Be strong :)
I suffered from anorexia in 7th grade. Everyone can recover! I believe in you! I'm now 5 foot 4 and 123 pounds! This is an amazing song!!!! Really! Keep singing please!
I think almost every girl has been through this. Most girls dont have the courage to come clean and admit it. I would do it and deny it. Noone found out so noone could help. I didnt care and my friend walked in on me throwing up one day and i caught her doing it. We did it for about 2 years and we'd cry together. We'd try to stop and get sick. This song opened up our eyes and we've been eating for about 3 weeks now. Thanks(:
This is sooo true I have so many issues with the way I look but, this madness started at 8 years old. My sisters were thin and perfect and when they felt bad they went on diets. I remember having panic attacks because, I thought I was too fat to try on clothes or look in a mirror. I'm at one of the lowest weights I've been and I feel trapped. This song helps It really does. 9 years down the road and I'm still broken and trapped in this little box and I'm doing my best to find my way out...
It is so refreshing and motivating to hear a song written about this. Your feelings are so true and so honest. You're so talented and beautiful. Please continue to write songs about this and recovery. You could totally impact and change so many lives. I believe in you!! X
A good song. But.. when you describe the girl as becoming anorexic or at least very skinny, with thick makeup. You also describe her as being beautiful to everyone else. This kind of undermines your point, which I hope was that you don't have to be stick thin to be beautiful.. though I'm not sure
@sopheee i think what she meant was anorexics believe they (or some, in this case she..) that they arent pretty without being stick thin. because its a trend right now to be waffer thin. so i believe that her point was that she was considered beautiful because she was thin, but no one really knew who she was. alot of people with anorexia are considered beautiful for the way they look, everyone around is very thin so it doesnt look unnatural you dont really know its a problem until
@MaliciousCaveman Okay, but it still seems to affirm that being super skinny is the only route to beauty. I think a better message would be that this fictitious girl was attractive not being super skinny, not that, the anorexia made her beautiful to everyone. This still affirms what the song writer is trying to sing against.
@sopheee i do not think that 1 particular line in the song undermines the entire song. but then again anorexia is just a disease of contraditions anyways. they KNOW theyre underweight, but its NOT about food AT ALL, eating disorders are FULLY emotional disorders, people that deal with there emotions with food, or no food, or purging which creates over eating, anorexia and/or bulimia. it has nothing to do with food. or weight. thats just how the feelings are manifested and handled...i would know
@sopheee there half dead and blacking out in public and stuff. you probably know people who are anorexic and dont even know it, and if theyre not seriously underweight to the point to where its causing problems and nothing but bones then youll never suspect it. it was said in a way thats supossed to make you think about it. shes saying you dont really have to be thin to be worth something.
thank u so much for writing this song it really helped me get my life back on track i had a really bad eating disorder but this song helped my get over it
I absolutely love this song. and your voice... the lyrics, your music. Its amazing... and this is coming from a musician with a musical family. YOU'RE AWESOME. keep writing. please.
@HateMyBelly you dont need to care what anybody thinks of your body. your probably very pretty, but your mind blocks out that image. Beauty is a personal image in your mind. Truly believing you are beautiful WILL make you beautiful :)
This is beyond BEAUTIFUL! i was trying SO hard to look like a girl that everyone in my school thinks is pretty and thin. But now i realize. If i be like her then i wont be special and all I'll do is look plastic and fake. It wouldn't be the real me. <3 Thank you so much for making this song.
I don't know if you will see this comment or let alone reply to it, but I jsut wanted to tell you that your songs have inspired me to keep going. You make me want to learn guitar and continue on with music in my life, and making music more of who I am. I just wanted to say thank you. You have an amazing voice and I hope you along with your other viewers agree. I think it is wonderful you write your own songs and that they are about real life problems.. I hope you make a CD someday, I'll buy it.
Thank You for sharing your wonderful insight and talent...was going through a hard time looking for inspiration to continue on the healing journey a few days ago, your song is so true to my life and you have a beautiful voice...this was my first time actually looking for something on youtube...normally just follow the links friends send...but I am so glad that I came across your music...had to come back & post. Thanks again.
This song makes me cry, because i'm going through this right now. But the hole i've dug is so deep that i can't get out .. I'm stuck. Perfect is unachievable. I'm still trying, and slowly dying. It's so hard to get out of the hole that you push yourself into, and i'm trying .. so hard ..
to anyone struggling with an eating disorder: YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND DONT LET MAGAZINES, MEDIA, OR OTHER PEOPLE MAKE YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT YOURSELF BECUASE YOU ARE UNIQUE, BEAUTIFUL, AND AMAZING IN YOUR OWN WAY. SMILE, ITS OK TO LOOK DIFFERENT.
wow did you write this, if so AMAZING! I'm going through a rough time right now, been starving myself for the last week, and this really encouraged me! :) Thank you, and you have an amazing voice, and the other girl singing w/ you! :D
This is such a beautiful song. I have been suffering with an eating disorder for years now and I find a great deal of comfort listening to this song, you really make me feel like I am not alone or a freak. Is this song a true story? Anyways I know you don't know me but you have helped me so I thank you, keep singing, you are amazing and so beautiful <3 :)
@LifeBeingLived Awe <3 you are NOT alone and you are NOT a freak. Sarah's music has helped me as well. I may have not suffered anorexia but I know what it's like feeling like you don't belong. But with my amazing group of friends and family I've realized it's not true. I know I belong. So do you! <3 We all do. Sending you courage and love! <3
@MegaPinkpokadot Awe :( You don't have to!! You are beautiful just like everyone of us. Remember that people love you! You're not alone! Snding lots of love. <3
im suffering from an ED, Its hard, Hving to wright down what you eat everyday and having be watched at meal times. This song helped alot :. Your very talented Keep it up :) <3
@weeme03 Awe. Hun, I know it's hard. But you've gotta keep fighting. I can tell you are very determined. Keep that attitude and you will DEFINATELY make it through this. I know it's hard and scary sometimes but you're going to get better. I promise!! I have not gone through something ED but I've been through depression, and I know it hurts to feel like people don't care about you. But they do. Good luck and I am sending you my wishes! <3
this is an amazing song!!!!!!!!!!! seriously you could become a professional signer someday!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm in the process of recovering from anorexia and this was really helpfull and inspirational to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful! ... I sincerely hope you will be able to get all the way, because you have everything that a musician, composer, singer, performer, should have, and - perhaps most of all - you have Heart!
This song is insanely fantastic. It just brings happiness to my soul.. SUCH a good message. I've struggled with that for a while now... family don't know though. They don't even have any idea they were part of the reason for it all starting. Fighting to overcome it all now. But seriously, good message, good tune, good lyrics, good playing, good singing, LOVE it all. Keep it up girl! <3
Thank you.

i have cut myself it seems like a good idea. It's not. when i did no one found out for a couple weeks only because i was normally sad and depressed (emo personality) i had told my friend she made up all these rumors and lied when i asked her it got to the counselor and was very embarrassing. she told my parents and i was put in therapy. which is annoying bcause i wouldve liked to have them 4get but i was put through more at the counselor dont go down my path.

@dancindiva12028 With bulimia, it destroys your body. Your teeth rot, your esophagus gets severe damage and you can easily die from electrolyte imbalance. Hospitals, therapy and group therapy are great helps for it. It is a problem. I didn't think anorexia was a problem until I almost died from a hypoglycemic coma.

I'm only 12. My eating disorder started when i was 9. Right around the same time my parents got divorced. My sister got pregnant at an early age. My brother went away to the army. I was alone. Nobody noticed my loss of weight. It was easy avoiding eating. We never ate dinner together anymore. My dad didn't live with us anymore. My mom worked a lot. My sister moved out with her boyfriend. My brother was gone. I was always alone. i still feel like i am. this is a story of my life. in a way..

I listen to this song at least three times a week. I'm wishing it will help me stop starving myself, hoping that it will help me eat normally and stop purging.. But nothing seems to help. May I sing this for my school's talent show? Maybe it will help people see how broken I am. And maybe, just maybe, someone will help me.

@FannyMiley OMG if your bulimic, you NEED to get help!!! bulimia and anorexia can both KILL you if you don't get help! when i was 12 one of my friends who only weighed 75 pounds (and was underweight) thought she was fat! fortunately, her mom found out, and she got help.

I have a stomach condition (after five months you'd think the doctors would know what it is right? NO! they're fucking idiots..) that prevents me from eating red meat, processed food, dairy, acid foods, red sauces, and I can't eat more than 8 grams of fat a day because I can't digest any of that stuff (FUCK MY LIIIIFEEE!!!) so everybody thinks I'm anorexic because im 5'4" and 85 pounds... but I'm not.. it sucks. a lot.

I think almost every girl has been through this. Most girls dont have the courage to come clean and admit it. I would do it and deny it. Noone found out so noone could help. I didnt care and my friend walked in on me throwing up one day and i caught her doing it. We did it for about 2 years and we'd cry together. We'd try to stop and get sick. This song opened up our eyes and we've been eating for about 3 weeks now. Thanks(:

This is sooo true I have so many issues with the way I look but, this madness started at 8 years old. My sisters were thin and perfect and when they felt bad they went on diets. I remember having panic attacks because, I thought I was too fat to try on clothes or look in a mirror. I'm at one of the lowest weights I've been and I feel trapped. This song helps It really does. 9 years down the road and I'm still broken and trapped in this little box and I'm doing my best to find my way out...

MaliciousCaveman 1 year ago
A good song. But.. when you describe the girl as becoming anorexic or at least very skinny, with thick makeup. You also describe her as being beautiful to everyone else. This kind of undermines your point, which I hope was that you don't have to be stick thin to be beautiful.. though I'm not sure
sopheee 1 year ago
@sopheee i think what she meant was anorexics believe they (or some, in this case she..) that they arent pretty without being stick thin. because its a trend right now to be waffer thin. so i believe that her point was that she was considered beautiful because she was thin, but no one really knew who she was. alot of people with anorexia are considered beautiful for the way they look, everyone around is very thin so it doesnt look unnatural you dont really know its a problem until
MaliciousCaveman 1 year ago
@MaliciousCaveman Okay, but it still seems to affirm that being super skinny is the only route to beauty. I think a better message would be that this fictitious girl was attractive not being super skinny, not that, the anorexia made her beautiful to everyone. This still affirms what the song writer is trying to sing against.
sopheee 1 year ago
@sopheee i do not think that 1 particular line in the song undermines the entire song. but then again anorexia is just a disease of contraditions anyways. they KNOW theyre underweight, but its NOT about food AT ALL, eating disorders are FULLY emotional disorders, people that deal with there emotions with food, or no food, or purging which creates over eating, anorexia and/or bulimia. it has nothing to do with food. or weight. thats just how the feelings are manifested and handled...i would know
MaliciousCaveman 1 year ago
@sopheee there half dead and blacking out in public and stuff. you probably know people who are anorexic and dont even know it, and if theyre not seriously underweight to the point to where its causing problems and nothing but bones then youll never suspect it. it was said in a way thats supossed to make you think about it. shes saying you dont really have to be thin to be worth something.
