Eating disorders don’t discriminate.” The PSA opens with a quote from Kesha about her own struggle with an [eating disorder](http://people.com/tag/eating-disorders/) and why she wanted to get involved with helping others who are going through similar situations. “I had an eating disorder that threatened my life, and I was very afraid to confront it,” the quote reads. “I got sicker, and the whole world kept telling me how much better I looked. That’s why I realized I wanted to be part of the solution.” Kesha concludes the PSA by encouraging people who may need professional help for their disorder to visit [nationaleatingdisorder.org/screening](https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/screening-tool). “If you feel like you need help, or if you know anyone that may need help, please do not hesitate,” she says. “Recovery is possible.” _This_ [_article_](http://people.com/bodies/kesha-eating-disorder-psa/) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://people.com/)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4690259/kesha-eating-disorder-psa/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4690259/kesha-eating-disorder-psa/"},"headline":"Kesha: 'I Had an Eating Disorder That Threatened My Life'","datePublished":"2017-03-03T16:26:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:05:02.143Z","description":"The singer stars in a new PSA for the National Eating Disorders Association","url":"https://time.com/4690259/kesha-eating-disorder-psa/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6763fa6419959875/6988a9830b72e341026eb4ed/kesha-medical-records-dr-luke.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Gabrielle Olya / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6763fa6419959875/6988a9830b72e341026eb4ed/kesha-medical-records-dr-luke.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2016 Planned Parenthood Annual Gala","caption":"2016 Planned Parenthood Annual Gala","creditText":"Leigh Vogel/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4690259/kesha-eating-disorder-psa/","name":"Kesha: 'I Had an Eating Disorder That Threatened My Life'"}}]}] ```
