Hello everybody,
A couple of weeks ago, I met a girl. Over the course of the last few weeks we had lots of fun together. I really fell in love with her, and judging her words and behavour that feeling is mutual. So far, so good.
A few days ago, she told me about her eating disorder. She told me, that sometimes she eates a lot (binge-eating), whereafter she feels guilty and takes laxatives. She already spoke to a docter about it. He told her ( not so surprisingly) she had Bulimia nervosa.
I am so worried, I can't even express. I really like her, I really fell in love with her. Ending the relationshiop is not an option anymore at this point.
My question is... What can I do? How should I behave regarding this situation? What can I do to help her ( if I can?)
I really want to be there for her... I know this disorder has the potential to be deadly... I want to fight it away, but I am fully aware that it's her, who has to make the steps towards healthiness. Please.. What can I do to help her in anyway.
I'm sorry for my english. I am from the Netherlands. It's just... our medical forums aren't so well visited.
Thank you in advance... all serious reactions will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
