Nikki Glaser during disorder: “Let me die in my sleep”

Comedian Nikki Glaser candidly shares how a tragic death her senior year in high school was the start of years of various eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia. Glaser recalls losing nearly 60 lbs. in four months and is joined by her father EJ Glaser as they both remember when the disorder nearly turned deadly. EJ remembers getting metaphorically “smacked in the face” with the severity of it all while Nikki recalls a feeling of relief once a doctor forced her and the family to address the issue. Plus, the Netflix and Comedy Central star talks of her steps towards recovery and a commitment to eat three meals per day.

Nikki, thank you so much for doing this important work. Not only for the personal work you are currently doing but by sharing it you will literally save lives. You are so damn brave.

i'm completely floored.. i've always like nikki as a comedian but watching this interview literally made me cry i relate to her so much and it gives me so much hope that she's a functional successful person and overcome so much in her life.

It's good to hear people talk about disordered eating. I went through issues with food for years. I was shocked when my mother admitted her own issues with food that lasted several decades. I never knew.

I love Nikki glad they caught this before too late

[kccorliss]

I have heard food disorders described as control issues

Nikki summed it up when she said, "I didnt eat much for just a few days because I was nervous then someone said You look good! What have you been doing?" Most all eating disorders are a dysfunctional need to gain attention and social status. The eating disorder is almost always a symptom of an underlying psychiatric disorder. She didn't say that in her explanation which is not going to help others struggling with the problem

This is why I want to home school if I ever have kids - so much trauma attached to school

[imxploring]

Nikki has many issues.... some of it is what makes her such a great comedian... but it sounds like she's dealing with them one at a time.

Chris just showed a photo of what pj did to save nikkers. Yes he ate a fucking nuke. Not fun but worth it. He said he would do it again. Only small jumps left, pj already did all the big ones. That means be brave again, Nikki. --Dad

"Her and your parents didn't catch it..." NO! SHE and your parents didn't catch it. She didn't catch it so she and your parents. UGH.

[kccorliss]

You can see graham thinkin, slow down brod…

[blakeandrews]

She was mad at the guy who killed himself??? Wow….

[johngoldsworthy]

This is the epitome of women logic. Get tramautized/become the victim over someone who you don't even know killing themselves.

Some people can't say your parents are mad at you because I have no parents and kinda in a similar situation like nikki
