Kesha opens up about her struggle with an eating disorder

It seems we don't hear much about Kesha these days, but luckily the 28-year-old is now much healthier after seeking treatment for an eating disorder in 2014. 

She has now opened up to Vogue about about that difficult time in her life.

She said: "“I’ve had a lot of ups and downs, it’s been quite a journey. I went to a dark place. There was a lot of not eating.”

The Tik Tok singer went on to say how things worsened as others thought she was looking better: “I started to think being hungry to the point of feeling almost faint was a positive thing. The worse it got, the more positive feedback I was getting. Inside I was really unhappy, but outside, people were like, ‘Wow, you look great.'"

Kesha said she felt very unhappy, despite her upbeat music: “I was singing these songs like ‘We R Who We R’…But I was sad and [I wasn’t eating]. That’s not good for your body, metabolism, or brain. I talked to my therapist, and she said, ‘I think it’s time we take a moment to address this.’"

"I called my mom one night and I told her, ‘I need help’ I went to an eating-disorder specific rehab site where a nutritionist taught me that food is a positive thing for your body. I realized being healthy is the most important thing I can do for myself. Now, I’m trying to embrace the skin I’m in.”

She chooses to "make the choice to be kind" to herself everyday and said: "This is who I am. I have to love that."

We are so glad to hear that Kesha is on the road to recovery and we wish her all the best.
