eating disorders are bigger than food...
One of the women who lives with me is slowly starving herself (eating in ridiculously small portions, once or twice daily) and is also emotionally unstable. She fainted last week, and made up some bogus medical excuse (she's pre-med) that was obviously not the case. She just isn't eating. She knows better, but being thin is more important. She also likes to the blame the pill for her previous depression and anorexia and acts like everything is okay again. What do you do with a friend like this?
I don't feel right pretending nothing is happening, but nothing I can do or say will solve her problems for her. She has to want help for it to work. Any advice?
