[quote:rasmussen:MV85MzYzMDJfMTQ1MjEwODRfQjEwQzM1MEU=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 824065] I struggle with bulimia every single day. It is a lifetime affliction and I have to use my will power constantly to overcome the compulsions. I havent binged or purged in over 6 years, but everytime I eat, there is the impulse purge. IT IS a difficult siutation to treat, very, and my advice is to get her professional help because left untreated it can, literally, kill her. Also, the family will benefit from treatment by understanding what she is going through so they can help her develop coping skills and strength in fighting it. AND IT IS A FIGHT, a daily battle. I'm sorry you are all going through this, I wont lie to you, it's a very big and difficult struggle but she CAN overcome it. She can! Best of luck to you all. [/quote] :hf: :hf: [/quote]

My good friend is very concerned about her young (20 yr old?) daughter's eating disorder. The girl won't acknowledge that she has a problem. She gets up in the middle of the night and binges then purges. Her mom thinks that she's barely 100 pounds and she's about 5'7.
The girl lives with her boyfriend who is also very worried. This has been an ongoing problem and it seems to be getting worse.
No one knows what to do because she won't acknowledge it. Perhaps some kind of intervention is needed.
I feel so sad and worried about this. Sometimes they die if they don't get help. I know it is difficult to treat.
Thanks for any advice :)
