ANAD is a great resource. She must seek professional help as this is an affliction that doesnt just go away. Good to see you helping your friend out.

anorexia is serious buisness, i knew a girl that got to 60 odd lbs. It was sick looking at her. She ate like half a muffin a day.

good on ya !! you sound like a good friend to have. i think anorexia is another form of suicide or maybe attempted suicide.depending on the outcome.its probably related to peer pressure too.just my opinion. it seems to me it would be like trying to help a smacky. goodluck!

My ex g/f was anorexic back when she was like 14 b/c her parents split up and it was a cry for attention (she admitted it).
I used to be anorexic when I was on the wrestling team, but that's a different ball game.
Anorexic girls are disgusting. Don't make her think she looks good looking like that. That's the worst thing you can do. Take her to the gym twice a week.

A) professional help, without question B) marijuana. this won't cure the underlying psycological issues, but it may very well get her so hungry she has little choice of whether or not to eat. and i'm not joking in the slightest- this is serious business. our bodies produce an endogenous canabinoid called anandamide that regulates appetite, among other things. also, there is a pharmacuetical canabinoid called Marinol which has been approved to treat anorexia, i beleive. so when i say "get her high!" its not because i'm some dumb stoner who thinks pot is the answer to everything, i really think it could help. i've been close to an anorexic before; its a sad and scary situation. i wish you and her the best.

it seems like everyone has at least one friend that has had an eating disorder at sometime in their life. personally, i have been close to 3 different people with eating disorders, two who were anorexic and one who was bulimic. i think that it is a much bigger problem than most people realize because of how secretive the sufferers usually are about their disorder and their treatment, if they ever get it. i don't really know what could be done to prevent it though, other than learning to see through the bullshit images that are projected in the media that young girls end up trying to emulate.

I just recently found out my ex/friend is bulemic and I am also really freaked out. I guess at least her mom knows now because she went to the doctor and has esophogus damage. Worse yet we are not very close anymore since I moved and such and had been drifting before then. So she just kind of told me over AIM like matter of factly, which sucked. I don't know why she does it, or how long she has been doing it. I wonder if she was doing it when we were going out, and to what frequency. It almost seems like one of the things she might have told me before or during the time we were going out, but we both just never mentioned it again and I forgot, but I just don't think I would forget a thing like that. I feel bad, but at the same time I almost don't care anymore because I constantly feel like I am being treated kind of badly by her anyways. *shrugs* It sucks to care about someone who doesn't care about you much anymore.
