I just found out that my best friend has bulimia. She just told me and right now I can't even speak. I just can't stop crying. I don't know what to do. She is getting blood work done and is going to get treatment and go to special programs at the hospital but I just can't help but feel so stupid for letting this slip past me. We have such an open relationship, at least I thought we did. I told her everything and I thought she told me everything. She had told me about how she had once struggled with bulimia for a few weeks over one summer but she said that she had gotten over it. But now she says that she started back up again around last may. I am so worried about her. She always had weird eating habits like she wouldn't eat infront of people but she always said that it was just because she was really shy and so of course I believed her. I helped her fool my parents when they would try and get her to eat something I helped her fool my friends and I fooled myself thinking that there wasn't something wrong. I just feel so stupid and confused. I don't know what to do or what to say. She has my full support. She says that the bulimia really isn't about losing weight anymore, she says its about self worth. She means the world to me and she knows it but she refuses to believe it. I just can't stand it. I can't stand that she actually feels such hatred for herself. Ahhh can someone help me out?!
