Oh Wow Free, this is a really hard one.

I had a friend in high school who was my anorexic buddy. I was always trying to help her even when I weighed less and needed the help more then she ever did. I think we can see in other ppl how much help they need, because we understand so well what they are going through. Just don't drag yourself down too much trying to help her. Sometimes we can lose sight of our own recovery in the process.

Just tell her how you feel. Get it out in the open and let her know your feelings. Let her know you understand.

And when it comes to her family. You know how good we are when we are protecting the control of our ED. Her family may not understand. We are good liars when it comes to food and our power to control it.
