She continues “Gone were the days where I was just a happy, carefree kid running around and suddenly I felt this inability to interact with people and to nourish myself.”

Troian said that she fears without the proper treatment she received, she wouldn’t be alive today.

“If I had just been shunned to the side as not having ‘real problems,’ I don’t know that I would be living today.”
