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.

• When you live on your own for a long time, however, your personality changes because you go so much into yourself you lose the ability to be social, to understand what is and isn't normal behavior.

Other people keep our souls alive, just like food and water does with our body.
