Hi everyone! My bff confessed to me and to our other bff that she is struggling with anorexia. We are desperate. Her family truly doesn’t care about it and she is not at all likely to go to see a psychologist. Our other best friend thinks she is trying to call attention, even though only the two of us know and IM ALONE AND SCARED. I talked about it with her to see how troubled we really were. She confessed me she hasn’t look herself in a mirror in months ‘cause she hates her body. She’s eating less and less, although at least she’s eating. She’s thin, but believes she’s really fat. She weighed herself every day more than twice on the scales.

By talking and taking care of her and actually being there I got her to forget about the scales, and not to weigh herself that much. Also, she’s kind of eating better, at least when i’m around, but i know that she eats with guilt and im clueless of what to do. I’m also trying to gain her some self esteem and i’m telling her how cute she looks or things about her or her body that i really like. She denies everything, though.

Please if someone can hand me any tips that are not “she has to go to a psychologist” i’d be very glad. If i see everything gets out of my hands, i’ll reach someone, but at least for now im trying to do it myself, as she really doesn’t trust many other people.

Please, help us
