Lovato, now 25, has suffered from addiction, bulimia, bipolar disorder, self-harm and was bullied all before the age of 18. She has spoken out on each issue, shared herself via her music and regularly supports fans on social media when they share their own stories.
Now, fans are giving back the love Demi has shared as she faces her own recovery. With their poignant and heartfelt words, they share pieces of themselves not only with her, but the world.
Here are a few notes to show how much one person can do, how many lives Demi has saved and how very much her fans love her.

she’s my role model. diagnosed with mental illness is not easy, but she’s the one whom helped me with her story, her songs, and honest words. without her i’d be gone long time ago. she helped me how to survive and fight the monster inside me. @ddlovato #HowDemiHasHelpedMe

She helped me about bullying and also changed my ideas about how important mental health is. She and her music were there for me when I couldn’t say it to anyone. She helped me a lot and if I’m a confident and a happy girl today she’s why @ddlovato #HowDemiHasHelpedMe

As a bipolar person who has also struggled with addiction, Demi has shown me you can still be smart, beautiful, and accomplished while also dealing with the demons that are so debilitating and are never at rest. #HowDemiHasHelpedMe #HowDemiHelpedMe
