Hello orgers,this is my first thread and I really felt like creating one because I need some help.So let's say a friend of mine here on the org is at the first levels of anorexia (I'm pretty sure about it).She will refuse to eat all day,she may eat an apple or something because she thinks she doesn't look good and stuff.I know that some of the orgers here know about whom I'm talking.I keep telling her that she's harming herself but she wo't stop.She does a really hard training too and sometimes she will pass out.So orgers please help me.Tell her that she may die because of this.And yes most of u may think this is stupid but okay please post something positive and not something negative.Thank you all.

hospitalisation is usually the only thing that works

U're right...it's a very dangerous thing for her to do and she's going to end up looking like a skeleton and doing some serious damage to her internal organs
Unfortunantly Anorexia is a mental disease more than anything else and it is very hard to make someone understand that they are doing damage to themselves. When she ooks in the mirror she dosent see what everyone else sees.
It might hep if she could go to see a doctor and get some therapy.I wish her all the best

Thank you girls...thanks God she doesn't look like a skeleton and she says that she doesn't wanna be like a a skeleton.She looks like a normal slim girl and I keep telling her that she looks great (not only me) but she thinks she needs 2 loose some weight.She recognizes anorexia and she says she's fine and she knows where to stop.But I think this is too tough for a young girl like her

Well if its any help when I was 14 I was only eating and apple and a piece of chocolate everyday because I kept feeling sick and I didnt know why. The only thing that didnt seem to do that was apples and chocolate. ANyway, I wound up suffering really bad dizzy spells and in the end my mother hauled my ass to the docotor and as it turned out Im allergic to red meat
Also the fact that mum threatened to shove a multi vitamin pill down my throat that a horse would have trouble swallowing and that smelled like vegemite( which is disgusting) made me start eating and I just cut out meat.
Because she is only eating an apple she is more than likely aenemic on top of everything.
Of course she's going to tell u she's not anorexic and she can stop, we all say that. Tell her she really has to eat all fruits and vegetables or she is going to be in serious trouble and not eating just slows down ure metabolism so that u put on weight anyway
