Eating disorders can affect anyone—but they’re too often misunderstood, oversimplified, or erased in media.

We are so grateful to the team behind The Pitt () for the care, accuracy, and humanity they brought to last week’s episode. By portraying a Black woman with bulimia nervosa, they not only captured the complexity and treatability of these illnesses—but also challenged the harmful stereotypes about “who” develops an eating disorder. That kind of representation can be truly life-saving.

Stories like this matter. They remind us that eating disorders are serious mental health conditions, deserving of empathy, understanding, and proper care—without judgment or assumptions about appearance.

Demi Lovato’s new song “Sorry To Myself” is about facing one’s own mistakes, learning to forgive yourself, and embracing hope and self-acceptance after periods of self-criticism—while acknowledging how difficult that process can be.💛

Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring us to keep going.
