Zosia Mamet has "struggled with an eating disorder" since she was a child.
The 'Girls' actress - who plays Shoshanna Shapiro on the HBO series - says she was "waiting to die" before her father, award-winning playwright and director David Mamet, encouraged her to seek treatment at the age of 17.
The 26-year-old star wrote in her column for Glamour magazine: "I've struggled with an eating disorder since I was a child. This struggle has been mostly a private one, a war nobody knew was raging inside me. I tried to fight it alone for a long time. And I nearly died."
The brunette beauty, who started acting at the age of six, is still on the road to recovery.
She said: "Here's how I think of my eating disorder: I'm an addict in recovery. I was told I was fat for the first time when I was eight. I'm not fat; I've never been fat. But ever since then, there has been a monster in my brain that tells me I am -- that convinces me my clothes don't fit or that I've eaten too much.
"At times it has forced me to starve myself, to run extra miles, to abuse my body."
She added: "My dad eventually got me into treatment. He came home one night from a party, took me by the shoulders, and said, 'You're not allowed to die.' It was the first time I realised this wasn't all about me. I didn't care if I died, but my family did. That's the thing about these kinds of disorders: They're consuming; they make you egocentric; they're all you can see.
"During treatment I discovered that my disorder has never really been about weight or food -- that's just the way the monster manifests itself. Really these diseases are about control: control of your life and of your body."

He said: "[My mother is] involved in every part of our wedding [and] engagement party."
Evan also revealed he was so desperate to be married to Ashlee, 29, - who has a five-year-old son, Bronx, with ex-husband Pete Wentz - that they initially considered eloping.

Kim Kardashian doesn't think her daughter will follow in her and Kanye West's footsteps.
The 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star admits North, 13 months, "does not wanna perform" in public, even though she "definitely isn't shy."
The 33-year-old beauty told the TODAY Show: "If you ask her to do anything on command--like clap [or] walk, she shuts down. But, she's really sweet--she's a mama's girl. [That's] the phase she's going through now."
North is very "like her dad," according to Kim, who also opened up about her and Kanye's relationship since their romantic wedding in Florence, Italy in May.
While married life "does feel different," she said she saw "more of a change in him" when North was born in June 2013, as it made him "soften up."
She added: "Since he's become a dad, everything is, just, 'if this doesn't make sense for our family, I'm not even gonna waste my time doing it.' "
The reality TV star and the rapper hope to have at least one more child.
She said: "[We] would love two more, but we'll see!
"Of course,i would love to have another child. I'm gonna have one more and see what it's like."

Robin Williams had chemical substances in his system before he committed suicide.
The 63-year-old star hanged himself with a belt at his home in Tiburon, California yesterday (11.08.14) and also had "acute, superficial cuts" located "on the inside of his left wrist" from a pocket knife, according to the Marin County Sherif's Department.
During a press conference today (12.08.14), Lt. Keith Boyd confirmed the Oscar winner died from asphyxia due to hanging and chemical substances were found in his system during an autopsy after his body was discovered by his personal assistant.
Toxicology results will not be made available for approximately two-six weeks so further tests can be carried out.
Boyd said: "His body was in a position that looks like he's sitting in a chair, slightly off the ground, suspended between the belt that was wedged between the door and the door frame."
He added: "We want to be thorough. We want to be sure that we cover all of our bases...to make sure we're not forgetting anything else that we're not being presumptive and overlooking [pertinent details]."
Police are continuing to investigate 'The Birdcage' star's death, and no time of death has been specified, but they confirmed his wife, Susan Schneider, was the last person to see him alive.
Robin reportedly sought treatment in rehab last month and his spokesperson confirmed yesterday that he had been battling "severe depression" recently.

Kelly Brook says her boobs get bigger when people play with them.
The busy beauty has responded to rumours she could be pregnant by insisting she isn't expecting a child with her fiancé David McIntosh and suggested that the speculation may have been caused because her ample assets have grown.
She said: "Do I look pregnant? Maybe my boobs have got bigger. The more they're played with, the bigger they get."
The 34-year-old stunner has been working out more recently but admits the main reason she goes to the gym is so she can watch her fiancé work out.
She explained: "I've been going to the gym an awful lot. I'm basically going there to watch David work out. But I've also been lifting some heavy weights with him.
"My body doesn't respond in the same way as it does for him."
Kelly - who was described as a "heffer" by Katie Price last year - has come under fire from Twitter trolls who claimed she looked "fat" in recent bikini pictures, but the brunette beauty insists she isn't paying any attention to the criticism because she is the "happiest I've ever felt".
She added to heat magazine: "I just feel like a big, strong woman at the moment - I don't feel as dainty as I used to feel. I like it, actually, but I'd like to be a bit leaner.
"People are saying I'm big and I'm fat - I don't really care, because inside I'm the happiest I've ever felt."
