What a sad situation.  |
|
I learned today that a very close friend of mine is very sick. Her mother called me crying and told me that her daughter was forcing herself to throw up after meals. And thats only when she eats cause she wont eat anymore either. Her mom begged her to eat something a slice of bread or something anything please. So I guess to get her mom off of her back she ate bread and peanut butter. Well her mother heard her in the bathroom within 2 or 3 minutes of eating it making herself throw up. I had no idea she was doing this and now I'm very worried about her. I knew she had been struggling with her weight but not like this at all. Is there anything as a friend I can do to help her?

2. skewedsolipsism (162) | 2 years ago | As a friend, you can only support her and not try to force her to do anything - forcing her will only cause her to withdraw and push you away. Just let her know you're there for her if she wants support or needs to get help!

3. LittleMel (5514) | 2 years ago | I'm not sure which one is the right medical terms but this sounds like either bulimia or anorexia symptoms. I am naturally skinny I can't eat much since I've never done so, but in the girl's case she used to eat but now she doesn't eat anymore. She needs to see a doctor if not she'll lose nourishment and she could die.

4. curvychick77 (1053) | 2 years ago | Talk to her and listen to what she has to say. You mentioned she is struggling with weight loss, so that is one reason she is doing it. She may feel her weight is too much and in order to lose or not to gain any more she vomits after she eats. She is bulimic and she also sounds a little anorexic as well. Yes, one can have both. I was once bulimic and I struggled a lot, I didn't vomit but I did use laxatives, which is just as bad. I got help thorugh friends and family. In her case she needs more than just friends and family, since obviously family is not helping. You need to talk to her and her mother about getting her some help, in fact just talk to her mother about it. If she gets upset with you for it, then just tell your friend that it is for the best and that you worry about her and you only want her to feel better. If your friend continues on this path, she will die early. So now is the time to get help for her. Do it! Don't think about it. Help her, talk to her be there for her and get her help soon. I'll keep her and you in my prayers.

5. maddysmommy (10737) | 2 years ago | Is there anyway you can talk to your friend without hurting her feelings? I mean is she one that might listen to you? or come to you for advice? or even just for a chat? the reason I ask this is because maybe she might open up to you about how she is feeling about her weight and all. If you approach her in a way that she won't take offense and maybe tell her that you have noticed certain changes in her behavior, or her body weight, or emotions or something along those lines just to get her talking and possibly opening up a little. I'm sure she will be in denial and will probably get upset at you but if you approach it in a way where she feels comfortable talking to you or may appear to open up, then maybe that's a start. I would research more into eating disorders and possibly find out if there are people in your area that could help her. It's going to take some time for her to realise what she is doing to herself and maybe with your support and friendship, in time you might be able to get her the help she needs. I don't really know what else to say as I have not been in this situation before. I hope she finds help.

6. retardedrugrat (3675) | 2 years ago | If she's forcing herself to throw up, she's bulimic and there's not a whole lot you can do. She will see herself as fat and gross looking, even if she's not, and no amount of anyone saying she looks awesome will change that. To fight this, she needs professional help. However, as a friend, you can be there for her. Be the shoulder she may want to cry on, be the ear she may want for someone to listen, and be the eyes to try and look out for her. Be supportive, and don't try to force her to do anything. That will only make her withdraw and push you away from her. Being a supportive friend at this time may just make her realize what she's doing.

8. eyewitness (1141) | 2 years ago | I think it's better to get some help from an outsider.A therapist know how to handle this situations.You can try and talk to her but she's making this choice and it's hard to get this over.I've had a friend too luckily i was able to help her,but it's not easy.It can break you,because mentally it's heavy.I think in her case it's important to get professionel help.Her self-esteem isn't good and a professionel can help her to recover her self-esteem.

| 9. singhtaj (6) | 2 years ago | Don't worry! Treat her as a very good friend. First of all, stop scolidng her for anyhting and let her do what she want to do for atleast 3-4 days. Just ask her once, if she want to have anything else. If she says no, then don't force her. She will see this change and will try to know that why are you not forcing her like before. Then, explain her as a very good friend that if parents never think bad for their children. I understand that you want to reduce but if you will not take balanced diet it may hamper your health. Leaving everything will not make you slim. If you will not take proper diet you may cause with someserious illness. Rather than following this way it is better for you to start doing exercises, be always happy and stop worrying. And on the top I am with you. . . . . .
