this person clearly doesn't understand. I find people who have never suffered the same illnesses as myself don't understand, I have tried giving them information printed off the internet and it helps a little if they are willing to read. Doesn't stop us feeling hurt and rejected though .... Depression is a tough one to understand, I have never had an eating disorder so I can only say I don't understand how you feel over that one .... I truly hope you can stay friends with this person if they are willing to cooperate and try and be more understanding.

sincerely, Pastimes
