“For me, it's really important that high achieving people sometimes struggle. People try and say that if you could still get a degree, then it must not have got bad enough for you. I'm so glad that I didn't drink or drug, but it's just kind of accepting that I don't have to be perfect. I sometimes think as far as the eating disorder recovery, I'm a lifer.
