Råd til at hjælpe en ven med spiseforstyrrelse

Thanks for you write to me. I will like to help you with your problem. I think the best thing you can do with your friend, who has eating disorder, is that you can talk with her parents about it. Maybe they try to help, but they feel they can’t. Maybe they think that you three can do something together. They have maybe not asked you about it, because they think you don’t know it. So try to go to them. You say she won’t talk about it. In a way, I understand her, but try to explain that it’s at big problem, and it can be dangerous. I can hear that you and your friends are worried for her. Tell her that, and see how she reacts. You say that she is very thin. Explain to her, that is it to much. About your chats, then maybe talk a little about you funny experience. Maybe she will see the funny things in it and laugh. To lunch, then go home with her. See if she is eating. Maybe she takes a snack or like that, to show to you, that she is really eating. Maybe a psychology could help you a little. Tell her about it, and that you and your friends don’t know what to do with your friend, who has eating disorder. I think she or he has some got advice. Talk to your friend again, and explain how awful it is to be thin, and how awful is it to look at. Do it on a sweet way, so you don’t hurt her. I know that is it not, what you want. Maybe show her pictures and films from yours experience. I think that will give her some other thoughts. But the best thing to do is to be with her all the time. I know it can be hard, because she will push you away sometimes, because she will have some time with her one. And her parents have probably also some thoughts, with how you and her Mum and Dad can give her a smile on her lips. They know her better than you, but you three can but your heads together and find out, what she’s really like. I hope that this answer can help you, to get your friend happy again. I know it’s hurt, but when you help her, I think she’s better can come on top again. Just be there for her, and show her, that you really like her. Good luck.
