What hardship have you overcome? For me it was bulimia

Question

My freshman year

Well, constantly being told I was "too fat for bikinis" by my mother got to me. I started restricting calories(to 100 a day) and what i did eat I would purge. Sounds stupid right? But I couldnt help it. Going into my sophmore year.
I look decent right? 
Wrong. Yes i was in better shape but my was also dying inside. A lot of people never knew, and still don't know what i went through, because the who time I looked "normal" 
Well 3 ER trips and months of "rehab"/treatment later, I realized I couldn't keep going like that. And so now here I am. 
As you can see I am noticably bigger than i ever was to start with, and trust me i struggle everyday. But luckily i now have a loving bf who supports me and makes me feel beautiful no matter what. 
I am beautiful just the way I am💕💋

This is really long, so for those of you that aren't comfortable with reading about abuse and drugs, please skip this. 
I feel as though I've had too many hardships for how old I am. My most recent hardship was dating a heroin addict for almost a year. His mom and I finally got him into a clinic to get help, but he had a terrible relapse. I might as well add that he emotionally abused me on a daily basis and his excuse was the drugs he was taking. He ended up relapsing one night after a show and was piss drunk so I had to drive him home. He started sinking extremely quickly and told me that he was going to go to a friend's house, but I knew he was lying and convinced him to fess up. After I found out that he was going to get heroin, I tried to stop him. I was panicking and had no clue what to do except try to prevent him from leaving and driving in the condition he was in. So I sat myself down in front on the front door as he tried to shove me out of the way. He ended up grabbing my arm and tossing me to the ground and holding me down by my throat. There's more to it, but that's all I'm going to say about it. I ended up leaving and refused to talk  to him or see him after that. I left town and went to my best friend's house who noticed the bruises on my arms and my neck. I realized that I couldn't help him. He wouldn't let me help him, so how was I supposed to do anything? 
To those of you who know someone who needs help, and is even slightly willing to get help, please help them as long as you're not in danger. Tell someone and don't try to do alone like I did.

Answer

I overcame a 5 year battle with anorexia. 
I wanted to, obviously but I also didn't have a choice because it started to affect me neurologically. One of the many man side affects from long term anorexia is that you start to deteriorate neurologically. Now I have balancing issues and I fall a lot. There's nothing I can do to heal that. I also developed hypoglycemia. I am completely recovered now, of course sometimes I find my mindset falling back into it but I don't go through with it.  If I stop eating, just for one day I'll pass out and end up in the ER. So I've been kicking anorexias ass for a good 3 years now. I want to live, and I'll live.
