Olly Alexander Quotes
I was bulimic for a really long time and I self-harmed as well. I eventually went to a GP and I had an irregular heartbeat that they thought might have come from the bulimia. I had to go to hospital to take a lot of tests, to check my heart was working properly. It was such a low point for me and I was so scared that I was like, ‘I want to get better. I want to change now.’ Then I began to see a therapist and started taking medication, and I think a combination of those things, with lots of other elements, started helping me get better.
