How can I help a bulimic friend?

my friend is bulimic and I want to help her but I don’t know what to do to help..how can I help her?

Answer #1

maybe talk to her parents or a professional for help, there are a lot of programs to help people through an eating disorder. If YOU want to help reassure your friend that they look good, give him/her some self-confidence.

Answer #2

give them support. dont treat them like they are any differnt. I wish thats what people did to me.

Answer #3

awww the good old days i used to be bolimic to u cant realy convence her just wait for it to settle out if shes like me she’ll have to eat from hunger or if your that woried about her just seek profesinal help

Answer #4

well sorry that youre friend is bulimic just try to listen and talk to her and try to get her some help tell her parents if you have to she may be mad at you but who cares

Answer #5

If you do know that she is truely bulimic it is out of your hands, you have to tell a parent either yours or hers, it’s too serious for you to try to help her by yourself

Answer #6

my friend is bulimic too and I really want to help her. The advice I had found useful is stuff like GET HELP but she wont agree is it better to help her and upset her or let her suffer? I dont know because I dont want to loose her as a friend. just support her and make her feel wanted. Tell her what could happen and what you think about it and if she will agree get medical help but make sure she is happy before you tell but before that your on your own. make her feel thin and pretty, give her complements like you were thin before and mention herf rotting her teeth and a good chance of dieing if she carries on if you must but BE THERE FOR HER!!!
