Jeremy Gilbert had always been a bright and talented young man. He had a passion for photography and a heart of gold, always looking out for his friends and family. But as the years passed, Jeremy started to feel the pressure mounting on him. The expectations to succeed, to be perfect, were crushing him from all sides.
At first, it started innocently enough. Jeremy would skip breakfast here and there, telling himself he was too busy to eat. But as time went on, his excuses became more frequent, his meals more meager. He started counting calories obsessively, meticulously tracking every bite that passed his lips.
His weight began to drop, his once healthy body now a shadow of its former self. But to Jeremy, that didn't matter. All he could see was the number on the scale going down, down, down. It became an addiction, a sick game he couldn't stop playing.
His friends and family started to notice, voicing their concerns to him. But Jeremy brushed them off, insisting he was fine. He was in control. He didn't need their help.
But deep down, Jeremy knew something was wrong. He couldn't deny the constant hunger gnawing at his insides, the dizziness and weakness that plagued him daily. He knew he needed help, but he was too afraid to ask for it.
And so, Jeremy Gilbert continued down this dangerous path, his eating disorder slowly consuming him from the inside out. And no one knew just how far he had fallen until it was almost too late.

PART 2:DAMON of all people catches him PURGING
As Jeremy's eating disorder spiraled out of control, he found himself engaging in more extreme behaviors to maintain his increasingly fragile grasp on his desired weight. Purging had become a regular part of his routine, a desperate attempt to rid himself of the guilt and shame that weighed heavy on him after every small bite of food.
One night, as Jeremy sat hunched over the toilet, tears streaming down his face as he forced himself to purge, he heard the bathroom door creak open. He froze, dread filling him as he realized he wasn't alone.
"Damon..." Jeremy's voice was barely a whisper, filled with a mix of embarrassment and fear.
Damon Salvatore stood in the doorway, his usually confident demeanor replaced with a look of concern and disbelief. He had always had a complicated relationship with Jeremy, but in that moment, all he could see was the young man in front of him, broken and hurting.
"What the hell are you doing, Gilbert?" Damon's voice was stern, but there was a flicker of something softer in his eyes.
Jeremy could only hang his head in shame, unable to meet Damon's gaze. He felt exposed, vulnerable, as if the walls he had built up around himself were crumbling down.
Damon took a step closer, his expression softening slightly. "You need help, Jeremy. This...this isn't healthy. You can't keep doing this to yourself."
Jeremy felt a surge of anger rise within him, defensive and resistant to any form of help. But deep down, a part of him knew Damon was right. He couldn't keep living like this, trapped in a cycle of self-destruction.
With a heavy sigh, Jeremy finally met Damon's gaze, his eyes filled with tears. "I...I don't know how to stop," he admitted, the weight of his confession almost suffocating.
Damon's gaze softened even further, a flicker of understanding crossing his features. Without another word, he reached out a hand to help Jeremy up from the cold bathroom floor. And in that moment, Jeremy realized that maybe, just maybe, he didn't have to face this alone anymore.

PART 3: jeremy bags him NOT to tell ELENA
Jeremy wiped the tears from his eyes as he stood before Damon, his heart racing with fear. He knew that if Damon were to tell Elena about what he had witnessed, it would be devastating. Elena had been through so much already, and Jeremy didn't want to burden her with his own struggles.
"Damon, please," Jeremy pleaded, his voice cracking with emotion. "You can't tell Elena. She has enough on her plate as it is. She doesn't need to worry about me too."
Damon studied him for a moment, his eyes searching Jeremy's face for any sign of deceit. But all he could see was genuine fear and desperation.
"I won't tell her," Damon finally said, his voice surprisingly gentle. "But only on one condition. You have to promise me that you'll get help, Jer. You can't keep going down this path alone."
Jeremy nodded, relief flooding through him. He knew he couldn't do this on his own, as much as he hated to admit it. Maybe, just maybe, he could start to claw his way out of this darkness if he allowed himself to accept help.
"I promise," Jeremy whispered, his voice filled with determination. "I'll get help. I can't keep living like this."
Damon nodded in approval, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Good. I'll hold you to that promise, Gilbert. You're not alone in this."
And as Damon reached out a hand to help Jeremy up from the bathroom floor once again, Jeremy felt a glimmer of hope stir within him. Maybe, just maybe, there was a light at the end of the tunnel after all. And this time, he wouldn't have to face it alone.

PART 4:jeremy decides to try to eat some "JUNK FOOD"
As Jeremy embarked on his journey towards recovery, he knew that it wouldn't be easy. But he was determined to take small steps towards healing and rebuilding a healthier relationship with food. One of the first steps he decided to take was to challenge himself by trying something he hadn't allowed himself in a long time - junk food.
Taking a deep breath, Jeremy made his way to the kitchen, his heart pounding with nerves. He hesitantly reached for a bag of potato chips, his hand trembling as he opened it. The crunch of the chips echoed in the silence of the room as Jeremy took his first tentative bite.
At first, the taste was overwhelming, foreign to his taste buds that had grown accustomed to restriction and deprivation. But as he continued to eat, he began to savor the flavors, each bite a small victory in his battle against his eating disorder.
Jeremy couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt creeping in, the voice of his disorder whispering in his ear that he didn't deserve this indulgence. But he pushed those thoughts aside, reminding himself that he was worth more than the number on the scale.
With each chip he ate, Jeremy felt a spark of freedom, a glimmer of joy that he hadn't allowed himself to feel in so long. And as he finished the bag, a sense of accomplishment washed over him. Maybe, just maybe, he could learn to enjoy food again, without the chains of his disorder holding him back.
As he cleaned up the empty bag of chips, Jeremy felt a newfound sense of hope blooming within him. It was just a small step, but it was a step in the right direction. And he knew that with each bite he took, he was inching closer towards a brighter, healthier future.
