What do I do about my friend?

[Anonymous]

My friend has an eating disorder and i don’t know what i can do to help. She is aware she has a bad eating disorder that she goes into spirals and according to her i triggered one i don’t know how i did since i do try to avoid trying to say anything in that matter. Which brings me back to the fact i don’t know what to do to help and not trigger anything im drowning in anxiety because when she texts me causally about her spirals which are obviously not casual I have nothing to say and don’t know how to respond because i don’t know what to say to make it better or at least not worse.

God bless you for being a caring friend, please advise her to seek help and confine in a parent or therapist you need to put yourself first it sounds like she may be emotionally draining you, not her fault of course not but you are not a professional so you should not feel bad if you have triggered her by accident as you are not trained to deal with such scenario which is why she is better getting help, sometimes if caught early they can make great recovery and things so don’t worry too much I know it’s hard though.

Try to get her to get help from her doctor. Be there for her, but this is not something you should keep secret. If she doesn't voluntarily get help, you may need to tell someone to get her help that can save her life.

There's nothing you can do unless you're a certified dietitian or psychologist

Have you talked to her family about this?
