Totally Lost

Ok, my friend was diagnosed with 3rd stage anorexia and bulimia last year. She went into a hospital and was released over the summer. but now she is being questioned and i don't know what to do for her. last year, her favorite teacher also suffered the same problem so she talked to her. i mean last year, i talked to her a lot. but this time it just seems so different when i try to help her. like, what do i do for her because i have absolutely no idea.

You need to talk to her. Make her understand she needs help or she could have a serious problem. Also be a helping hand and listen to her. Yet also, be sure she gets help. Professional help. She'll thank you later on I promise! (If all this does not work out...let someone who knows her and can help her like her parents or something.)

Hope this helped

Hey,one of my friends was anorexic/bulimic.everyone deals differently,but i always reminded her that she was beautiful.
she didn't have to be stick skinny[which she was at one point] tell her that it hurts you & just be honest.
i kno its not much,but she probly won't get any better unless shes made up in her mind she wants to stop.
its hard to deal with,but just always be there to support you.she'll definitly thank you later.

Yeah, but its like, she is going to therepy and is being treated for it. but when we talk about it and she tells me about it, what do i say when i have no idea about her situation. i listen and then i am blank on what to say back

I agree! Tell her she's beautiful, she's pretty...and she needs to stop. Be honest. But it is very crusial that you are her shoulder to cry one. (I say this because you seem to be very worried about her to make a thread for her...how very sweet and loving of you!) well...I wish you the best of luck!

Thank you so much. i do tell her that everyday. she has always had problems with her mom since like 5th grade because she doesn't let her leave the house without makeup on. that has really hurt her self-conciousness and when people tell her she is pretty, she doesn't believe them.

Hey maybe write her a poem letting her know how pretty she is! Just a boost of coffidence! or maybe get a card and have a whole bunch of friends sighn it letting her know she is beautiful!

Ha i love that idea. i have written a lot of stuff for her, but i haven't shown it to her. maybe i should.
