Heather Reid, from Erskine, has told how constant harassment by sick trolls left her hospitalised over 50 times after self-harming to escape years of cruel comments.
A young woman left fighting for her life after being tormented by fat-shaming bullies has fought back by becoming an ultra-marathon runner.
She said: "It all started as soon as I went to primary school. Kids teased me and no one wanted to play with me. But Heather said the bullying only escalated when she went to high school with her peers then able to attack her through social media. "As a kid, you start to believe that when you're hearing it all the time. My head became a very dark place and I made multiple attempts to end it all."She added: "I don't remember much except waking up in the hospital a couple days later. I'd come really close to dying. Doctors had to resuscitate me and I know my parents were fully prepared to lose me that night."
"For once in my life, I started to feel good about myself and I was surrounded by positive and supportive people."After encouragement from a friend, she decided to sign up for her first marathon and before she knew it, she was completing ultra-marathon races and took part in nine events last year.
