My best friend of 7 years, informed me that she has been diagnosed with depression and bulimia. I feel like it's my fault, that if I had caught it before it got this bad it wouldn't have happened. She comes home, eats everything in site and then either throws it up or runs forever. I knew she loved exercising but never saw it as an issue. She says her Bulimia has been triggered by having depression, I am guessing by her rough childhood. She is going to a therapist, but I feel like I am doing nothing to help. I told her I support her, and if she needed anything she could just ask. But I think I should be able to do other things, to help her get over this issue. If anyone has an advice please please help me. I read about people in the past who have had eating disorders and/or depression and most come out tragic, I just don't want anything to happen to my best friend.
