Demi Lovato took to Twitter today to thank fans for their support as she struggles with an eating disorder – and to fire back at cyber bullies.

“I wish there wasn’t so much pressure on society to be thin,” wrote the former “Sonny with a Chance” star. “It makes recovery so much harder. #stayingstrong.”

She added, “My heart goes out to any and all women who deal with this daily battle.”

Lovato retweeted words of support and empathy from fans dealing with similar issues, but it appears not everyone had nice things to say.

“I can’t stand it when people make fun of the diseases so many people struggle from. Not something to joke about,” wrote the singer-actress.

“Also.. One more thing.. ALONG with making fun of illnesses or diseases, doing it over the internet only makes you more of a coward,” continued Lovato. “Not to mention now you’ve performed the act of cyber-bullying. Something that is equally wrong and unacceptable.”

Within moments, StayStrongDemiLovato was a worldwide trending topic on Twitter.
