anorexic friend

jayellefull SG

i have an anorexic friend. I’m not sure whether she is but she appears so because she is very very skinny and a few years back before i knew her i saw her in school with sparse hair and very very thin arms. She also shows other signs of being an anorexic like having to go for medical check ups but basically she is very thin. she has few friends also and i rather antisocial. recently she wrote a compo about a girl being anorexic so i was suspecting whether she is one. i really would like to help her sheis rather close to me. anyone can suggest how i can approach this subject with her? thanks

best is u refer her to a counseller, anoxeria is a very complicated illness, dun try anything cause it will hurt ur friend a lot if u bring up the subject, NO DRUNKARDS ADMIT THAT THEY ARE ONE. Same thing applies for a anoxeric.

okay i just thought she might want to talk about it. i think she is already receiving help but i would like her to be happier and just open up more

my friend.. anoxerics think that no one cares for them, that why they treat anoxeria as a friend, without them they are nothing, so a friend like you would do, care for her more, try to persuade her to do more exercise and maybe u can even trick her into eating... a little lies dun kill, in fact u are helping her.
