Q: want to help bulemic friend

I'm going crazy inside my head. I don't have an eating disorder myself. But my best friend is bulimic. She doesn't want help. I know I can't really help her, even though she is getting help soon in a few days on the 1st of jan.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what I'm doing right or wrong anymore. Confused
She's worried about me now, because I'm getting sad myself.
And what have I got to be sad about??? Confused
I love her to pieces, I can't imagine me without her. I don't know how to help her.
help? Shocked

i was just inpatient for bulimia/anorexia, left my roomate/bff
and she understood, but not so much...just never bother her about what she eats or her weight but silently moniter her to make sure she isn't throwing up, [believe me, she could be doing so in other places than the bathroom] tell her how glad you are she's doing better, [if she is] and don't get too anooyed if she talks about food and weight and such an alarming amount, friends are you at-home therapists and you just have to get things out...just support her, but don't step in unless you're sure she's left the road to recovery.
