Depression + Bulimia + Anorexia Seems to Be Getting Worse Posted: 11-02-07 00:45am
My best friend suffers from depression and
bulimia - and in the last few weeks has
become anorexic again. About a year ago
she finally beat it after struggling with
it for 3 years, but now it seems to have
come back. We talk about it openly and
she has no problem admitting she has it,
and she wants to stop more than anything.
Its involuntary as far as i know, even
after eating a little bit she gets
nauseous and has to throw up. She hates
food, but she knows she has to eat. The
problem is she is terrified of throwing up
so it has been a challenge getting her to
eat anything at all. Is there anything I
can do? I've been trying to do all I can
but she can't stop it, and I want to be
able to do more. Does anyone have any
suggestions? I could use any advice
anyone has - I need help with this.

Hi, welcome to this forum.
I suffered from bulimia and one thing that
kept me from throwing up was walking after
the meals . That made me feel better and
not so full. Have you tried that with your
friend?
