Hey NS so I need help with something. My girlfriend just told me she has an eating disorder. She says its stress induced that she has a handle on when she does it or not. I guess its been on and off for three years and she says she can control it. Im just worried about her and don't know what to do because I've never been in this situation. I'm looking for any help I can get. Thanks NS
 
Counseling? Might get pissed at you for suggesting it though, I had a few friends go get professional help
 
honestly I think its best just to be as supportive as you can without pushing it. You don't want to be too pushy to an extent to where she won't be open with you, and dont hesitate to get others involved (her parents) if shit starts getting real serious and dangerous
 
I'm currently reading a book on neurolinguistic programmation. It's really interesting. If this eating disorder is caused is stress induced, she can relieve hey anxiety with this strategy.

«A strategy for feeling anxious is to create a series of big, bright, close pictures of all the possible thigs that could go wrong. Looking at these pictures will make you feel bad. When you are anxious about someone who has stayed out late for example, you may experience a lot of bad feelings while vividly imagining everything that might have happened to them. Then you get angry with them,holding them responsible for the feelings. They may be very considerate, but you have created the pictures and the feelings, not them. Remember, we have wonderful creative mental powers and we can choose the feelings we create in ourselves.»

I thought it might apply to your problem.
 
make sure she knows that you're there to support her and help here through this. find out if she's seeing anyone (therapist) about her disorder and suggest that it might help if she isn't currently. make sure to not stress her out unnecessarily and be aware of the fact that she will be sensitive to things that you say regarding food and body issues.
 
lost it

OBVY she told you so your first response should be to post it on the internet so anyone of your other skis friends can find out and let your school know your bitty doesnt eat.

Congrats, your wifey will now hate you in 10 days
 
Dude, both my sisters have eating disorders and have been pretty bad. I have been around alot of girls with eating disorders due to this and what i can say to you is... Treat her as the girl you knew before you found out. Treat her no different to how you would normally. Trust me.
 
Yes, the power of positive thinking! That should help re-balance the neurotransmitters in your brain and get your serotonin levels back in check in a jiffy!

If she has an eating disorder and cannot get it under control on her own, she needs therapy.
 
How is this a bad thing, she probably looks great and im assuming she takes like 0 shits since she doesnt eat so anal is probably a breeze. You also probably save a shit ton cuz she doesnt eat when you take her out and she wants to choke on your cock when giving head so she barfs

Explain to me why its bad again?
 
My ex was bulimic for like 2 years. she used carrots to quit her bulimia. She ate like 2 to 3 full sized carrots a day. it was weird.
 
I know someone who has the same problem. Her parents took her to a therapist and she was back to normal in no time.

Eating disorders are psychological problems. People cant tell her to stop it and she'll just stop. You cant force food down her throat. The best option is to seek professional help although it may not be the most liked option.
 
like some else said, "do not punish her for being open with you!!" by being pushy, you will only create more stress/ feeling of helplessness in her that she can't get help. in reality you should get her to talk with a psychologist/therapist that will help find the root of the problem and give her step by step advice on how to recover. after that just be as supportive as you can. remind her that she is beutiful and shit on the reg.

(however don't over do the positive reinforcement because if she picks up on that, it can also possibly create feelings of helplessness, she may start to think that you don't really think that, but that you keep saying that to make her feel better.)

the biggest thing is be supportive and get her to professional help.
