How to Help Friend with Bulimia - November 6th 2014, 02:54 AM

Hi All,

There is this girl I have been talking to that I went to high school with. She has been telling me she misses drugs because they made her happy and not herself which is a person that is afraid of her own voice. I told her that she doesn't need drugs and she told me that they make her feel what she is not.
Her main problem at the moment is that she is struggling with bulimia and purging several times a day. I want to be support for her but I'm several hours away, her family is not supportive (just got a message from her saying her dad told her that he hopes she dies from purging) and I'm not sure she has any friends in the area.
I'm not sure what to say to her or of any suggestions I can make that would help her. I think ultimately, she will need to leave her home in order to truly get better and fully recover from her issues.
Also, I suggested she get a job but I'm not sure she will do that because she got fired from her last job for using speed.
Any suggestions? I feel lost and I do not want to be unsupportive. I want her to know she has someone that cares and can relate to her in some ways (depression, cutting Etc.)


"i don't care your intentions. I just want you to know my self-hatred never took me where I wanted to go. At the end of the day...I can pick at the pain but I can't cut it away."
