My friend on Facebook has an eating disorder. She had bulimia when I knew her; but then she started losing tons of weight. Now she’s deathly skinny. I guess now she has heart problems.

I don’t really understand eating disorders. But it seems like no one is helping her. She’s not in a treatment center or in a regular hospital, she’s still at home.

Why is she not getting help? Does she not want it? I really don’t understand so I am not trying to be naive or obnoxious.

Will she die? Aren’t heart problems really bad for anorexics?
