"Girls" actress Zosia Mamet bravely revealed her eating disorder history through a column in Glamour magazine.

Zosia Mamet, who is currently known as Shoshanna Shapiro in HBO's "Girls", admitted that she struggled with the disorder since a child.

"I've struggled with an eating disorder since I was a child. This struggle has been mostly a private one, a war nobody knew was raging inside me. I tried to fight it alone for a long time. And I nearly died," the 26-year-old Mamet confessed in her Glamour column.

"Girls" actress Zosia Mamet also spoke about her eating disorder as something that she actually does not go through alone, as there are 30 million Americans who go through the same struggle.

"I was told I was fat for the first time when I was 8. I'm not fat; I've never been fat. But ever since then, there has been a monster in my brain that tells me I am - that convinces me my clothes don't fit or that I've eaten too much. At times it has forced me to starve myself, to run extra miles, to abuse my body," she said.

The "Mad Men" alum then sought help from her family to overcome her eating disorder, according to Entertainment Tonight.

"My dad eventually got me into treatment. He came home one night from a party, took me by the shoulders, and said, 'You're not allowed to die,'" she wrote.

"It was the first time I realized this wasn't all about me. I didn't care if I died, but my family did. That's the thing about these kinds of disorders: They're consuming; they make you egocentric; they're all you can see," the actress added.

"Girls" actress Zosia Mamet eventually learned that her disorder hadn't been about weight or food, reported The Los Angeles Times.

"Really these diseases are about control: control of your life and of your body," the "Parenthood" alum said. "For me 'recovery' was simply the flip side of the illness; everything was still focused on numbers and food. I was given a goal weight I had to reach by a certain date. Everything I ate was written down."

"And I did eat; I looked cured on the outside. But the monster inside wasn't brought to trial.So I was given permission to leave the hospital and enter back into the world as a 'healthy' person. Then I went away for the summer and lost every pound I'd gained. Nobody had to help me dissect why I'd abused myself," Mamet added.

While Mamet did not specify the eating disorder she is struggling with, she is currently at a healthy weight but believes that her "obsession will always be with [her] in some way."

She did encourage readers to "diminish the stigma" and "remind one another that we're beautiful."
