She previously discussed her struggles in an interview with Self<\/em><\/a> in which she shared details about her treatment for anorexia, exercise bulimia, depression, and self-harm.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile she spent years carrying severe \u201cdisdain\u201d for her body, she credited her friends and family with helping her realize she deserved a way out.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cMy friends<\/a> saw me, heard me, helped me. My family loved me through it,\u201d she wrote. \u201cAnd somewhere underneath the noise, there was a tiny voice inside me that kept saying: don\u2019t give up. There is so much more to your story,\u201d adding, \u201cThere was so much beauty ahead that I couldn\u2019t see yet. So much love.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tGetting treatment helped her build a new life and gave her the strength to fight for others.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cIf someone had told me then that I would not only live, but one day have a beautiful, full life, free from the cycle of self-destruction and my eating disorder<\/a>\u2026 I truly don\u2019t think I would have believed them,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n \n\tSnow turned her message into an open letter to anyone currently going through their own mental health battle<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cSo many people have stood where you are standing,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThere is life beyond the place you are in today, even if you can\u2019t picture it yet. One day, the story you fought so hard to keep living may become someone else\u2019s survival guide.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tShe tagged several mental health organizations in her post, including the National Alliance for Eating Disorders<\/a> and The Mental Health Coalition<\/a>, to help connect followers directly with free support resources.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOne of the greatest gifts of making it through is being able to turn around and share the hope I couldn\u2019t see possible,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n \n\tIf you or someone you know is struggling with body image or eating concerns, confidential support is available through the <\/em>National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA)<\/em><\/a> helpline at 1-800-931-2237 or by texting \u201cNEDA\u201d to 741741 for 24\/7 crisis support.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Duncan](\"https:\/\/www.sheknows.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-sheknows-2020\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\")
