How Do I Get My Friend to Understand? Posted: 11-02-04 08:52am
Any ideas on how to get my friend to be
more understanding of my problem? First
of all, when she asks me to go out to eat
with her, all I can do is thank her for
the invitation but if I don't really think
that I can be around food that day, I must
say so or deal with enormous guilt later.
But if I say that, she says that everybody
else should not starve just b/c I don't
want to eat.
Morever, if it were so easy to "just eat,"
there would be no such thing as an eating
disorder. Is it typical for someone who
is supposed to be a friend to be so
unsympathetic? Also, isn't my shrink being
judgmental when he says things like "your
metabolism must be very slow."?
