Help?

by Peet123, Nov 07, 2009 04:38PM
A very good friend of mine has an eating disorder (Anorexia Nervosa).
She is on que for a specialised clinic, it's that bad...
Of course I want to help her now more than ever, but I'm not sure how...
We have daily email contact, and she knows she can always call on me
still there is this sense of helplessness. Does anyone have any tips on how I can help her out?

The best way to help your friend (or anyone struggling with a problem) is by asking HER what kind of help would be good. Does she just want someone to listen? Does she want to have someone to do "normal" things with? Does she want support and encouragement? Does she want help with eating? There are many possibilities and everyone is different so the best thing to do is say "how can I help?" Who knows, maybe she will say, "by keeping on doing exactly what you're doing right now"!
