hi there you all...after being with my g.f. for more than 2 1/2 years shes finally told me that she was bulimic. I knew she had eating issues, she was picky of what she eats all the time...but i never thought of her being bulimic Sad ....My question is what is there i can do to help? its obvious its progressing because she depressed most of the time now, she has low self esteem... Its hard to talk to her about it because she gets very edgy about it....No matter how many times i tell her she perfectly fine, or she beautiful she still thinks she fat or picks out flaw i dont even see...what i dont get is that she admits that its wrong and extremely unhealthy but she keeps on continuing on...I want my old happy g/f back, any help and suggestions would be much appreciated. Crying or Very sad

you need to try and get her some help, if she can get professional help it would help out alot, she knows its bad to do but shes probably been doing it for so long that she cant stop, its like an addiction. professional help is the best way to go for her sake. eating disorders are deadly
