Nicole Scherzinger opened up to Cosmopolitan magazine about suffering from confidence issues and bulimia in her dancer days. Keep reading to find out what she had to say about her troubled past!

"Thinking about it I try not to well up," the former Pussycat Doll revealed.

"It is such a horrible paralysing disease and it was such a dark time for me."

"That's why I can empathise so much with people who have demons and voices in their heads, who aren't nice to themselves. It robs you of living your life."

Scherzinger revealed that she was found multiple times passed out on the floor due to her bulimia. She also began losing her voice. Former band mate Carmit Bacher told Mail Online last year her struggles brought on the band's demise.

"Obviously people who have disorders like that are very good at hiding it," she told the site. "I feel stupid though not knowing. We were so close and I was shocked. I thought how could you hide that?"

Scherzinger first revealed her eating disorder in 2012 during her "X Factor" stint.

"I never spoke about it, I never want to play a victim and I never wanted my family to hear about things from me because I think it would break their heart," she told VH1 at the time.

"I guess it was like my addiction. I never did drugs, but kinda doing things to myself was my addiction."

She continued, "It's like when I got off stage, I was on this high, and I'd come back to my room and I'd be alone, so I would just do things. My bulimia was my addiction; hurting myself was my addiction."
