Help!! My Best Friend Is Bulimic and i dont know what to do!?

Question

She denys it to me but she has said that she goes to the bathroom to vomit after shes finished eating. Im shocked and surprised because shes losing weight fast and is only currently 2kgs heavier than me and before she was 7kgs heavier. Any ideas to help her get better/stop?

Answer 1

Bulimia is always a touchy subject with the person who's going through it.  You said she denies it, but admits vomiting after eating.  To me, that sounds like a confession, only she's not wanting to label it.  Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do except an intervention and that usually takes family members too.  I'm sure you don't want to go to her mother and tell, but that may be the best thing for you to do so that she can get the help she needs.  She probably will not stop on her own, she will need to get help because bulimia is a disease, though she doesn't see it as one.  Good luck!

Answer 2

all i can say is be there for her, and try taking her to a thereapist that can help with her problem, there are groups around for that, you just need to find them
