I think that this essay is very true. I guess one could say that I am one of those girls that this essay is talking about. I have a very low self-esteem but I am working with it and sometimes I take a step forward and then two steps backwards. But, in the end I know that I will eventually be able to overcome my disease called bi-polar. Everytime I see a skinny person it's like taking two steps backwards because I want to be skinnier then them or just as skinny. If I see people acting "normal" then I want to be normal and then I go into a deep depression and then I will hurt myself or want to hurt other and then I will maybe not eat for days or months. But then there are times when I am really happy and I'm glad to be alive and on those days I know that, even though I can't stop being bi-polar, I am slowly recovering and I will be able to defeat my disease.
