I have noticed my friend for about a year getting thinner and thinner. Every time I ask her how she is losing the weight she says just eating better. Now it is out of control she is way to thin. She is depressed wont get out of bed she has all the signs of bulimia. I confronted her last night and she said she has been vomiting for the past 6 months I told her that i was happy she told me that. I had a phone number she could call and she did but they said she had to call back during normal business hours. I hope that she wasn’t lying to me:( I guess I just need to know what I can do. I am trying to keep her busy she has a husband and 3 kids I just don’t know what to say? I don’t want to say anything that will make it worse.

Well, there isn’t a lot you can do to force her to get help.  Let her know you are there for her if she wants to talk.  Tell her you’re willing to go to the appointment with her (not necessarily go in with the therapist, but drive her there, sit in the waiting room, take her home).  Could you talk to her husband without violating any confidences?  He’s probably wondering how to help her too.

You are doing well helping your friend, try hard not to put pressure on her, point out the positive things in her life, that way she’ll be encouraged to get help if not for her, then for her family!

Good that you don’t say anything to your friend to make here op-set or getting worse. But if she need your advice or suggestion, that the time you can tel all you want to say to your friend for the good of your friend. So don’t make any aggressive decision to make worse to both of you.

First you don’t get angry with her, since friends are forever. You don’t say anything regarding this if she wanna some help then you must say all.
