Based on her response to your words I would venture to guess she isn't ready to hear truth right now. Sadly, she may never be.

I think you've done so much as a friend just being there and now finding out as much information as you can trying to better understand.

Please watch your own needs and make sure you're doing okay before attempting to 'go back in the ring' with your friend.

I would hope she could learn to listen to valid concerns from someone who loves her but often folks who do use their illness/disorder/disease as an excuse will NEVER hear anything that contradicts their internal belief system.

I wish you strength and luck. I think you've invested quite a bit in this friendship. Are the returns worth it to you? Or are you throwing energy/love down an endless well?

Your compassion and concern are touching. I wish everyone struggling with disorders/disease had a friend as dedicted as you are showing yourself to be.

I'm sorry you were hurt by her reaction to your concerns.
