How to get help for my anorexic friend?

My friend told me a couple of months ago that she wanted to be annorexic but I didnt think much of it as she had told me a couple of times she would like to be and hadnt done anything about it but I’ve noticed she has lost quite a bit of weight and is exercising more and picking at her food what bothers me more is that my cousin was annorexic and I’ve been through it before (not knowing what to do) and my cousin had to be force fed How can I help her without making her turn against me like my cousin did??? please help!

Answer #1

I’m not really sure what you can do…There’s not really a way to stop her without making her mad..Just give her advice…You won’t be able to help her..She has to help herself

Answer #2

If she is a close friend she more than likely knows about your cousin. If not maybe it’s time to tell her and how you felt/feel. That would be confiding in her without saying anything regarding her. If she is aware of that, then just let her know how much you care about her express your concerns without saying the obvious. Bottom line… would it be better for her to turn against you and get help or loose her? I know you understand.

Answer #3

Sorted shes had help :) Thanx for the advice xxx
