I dont understand my loopy friends behaviour?

Question

i have this 20yr old friend who loves any new way to make her (well in my books ) feel ill and hurt herself, she says its fun and does not want to harm herself but i notice that when she does something she always binges on it ( oh she is bulimic also) like when she drinks she does it maybe once a year but binges till she blacks out and says it felt nice being out of control for once like it was relaxing and the same with extacy she only had it once - that she tels me and took about 16 of them she said she was fitting and stretching and it felt soo good that she is trying to locate another dealer - whats wrong with her and how do i understand this behaviour?

Answer 1

um. I think she needs to get proffesional help.  

Answer 2

How could you possibly ever understand that behaviour?!!

It sounds like she is past the point of help from a friend, she needs to seek professional help or she will get herself seriously ill, if not get herself killed.

I'd try and find some professional help for her immediately.
