update

its a difficult situation. but i suppose just aproach the situation softly. the idea will probably scare her. so dont push things to hard. Explain your worries to her in detail. but i suppose the best advice i can give you is to try and come to some sort of compromise with her. start with a suggestion and then meet her like half way. that way she will still feel sort of in control and you will feel better knowing that shes agree to eat something if not much. i hope everything goes ok. and let me no how it goes.

love Becca

Heya

Its great that shes sdmitting to having a probelm, thats the first step to realising u need help, and therfor getting help. dont forget to tell her how well shes done in doing that.

With the camping, how do u kno she's intending to not eat? HAs she said something to you? If not then dont be too hard on her.

Beccas idea of the compromise is  good one, I think at this stage its the only way of getting through this, as she will still feel like the balls in her court but u will know shes eating something so wont need to worry as much while your there. How long are you going for?

Pls dont start an argument, i know it might feel like the only way of getting through to her but it will only make her feel worse so just try and be sympathetic too the fact that shes in a realy tough patch in her life right now and needs some help, regardless of wether shes willing to admit it.

Take care xox 

hey, im in the samish situation but maybe a little further on. My best friend has been struggling on and off with anerexia for years and the i recently found out that she was also throwing up what small amounts she ate.. which wasnt easy to find out especially as im the only person that has realised and that shes confided in. Anyway i think ive managed to help her with her bulimia cos i dnt think shes doin that anymore and ive also managed to get her come to the gp with me which means hopefully she'll b startin recovery. I know she wants to hang on to her ED tho so it may not b easy. I no the best thing tho is to give her as much love and support as possible.

If theres anyway i can help or anything u want to talk about or ask me let me know. I'd also like to talk to ppl in my position cos i find it hard to cope with it on my own sometimes.

Do u ever end up starving but not wanting to eat to sorta test urself and to see what ur friends going thru? well i hope not  but i just wondered if anyone else has reacted to their friends ed in the same way.. I think cos i spend so much time with her and im so close to her i just sorta expect to be living like her and sometimes its hard

but still i want to be with her all the time just incase i can help

I really hope ur friends gettin on better- i no how hard it is and hope we can help each other

take care of urself xxxxxxxx
