I have a friend whi is exhibiting these behaviors but it doesn't seem to fit any classic eating disorder. Here are her symptoms, can you tell me what she has?

-Intense fear of gaining weight
-Obsession with losing weight
-Not eating, or eatiing very little (only when no one is watching)
-Misuse of enemas

She doesn't exercise that much (doesn't really have a place to), but started this behavior about 1-2 weeks ago because her husband is a jerk who keeps telling her she's fat and comparing her to other women.

If she keeps this up, what will happen to her? Will she loose the weight she wants? And is there anything I can do to help? I'm scared she's gonna hurt herself.

syrup also fell 15%. This set of facts indicates that:
a. The demand for ice cream is price elastic.
b. The demand for chocolate syrup is price elastic.
c. The cross-price elasticity between ice cream and chocolate syrup is negative, so the two are complements.
d. The cross-price elasticity between ice cream and chocolate syrup is positive, so the two are substi-
tutes.

Maybe it is a common human complaint, I dont know. I am not overtly unhappy (as such) my life is good - you know loving family not starving and roof over my head. But I constantly struggle with the drudge and am always waiting for something to happen - good or bad. I am constantly fighting an apathy about life when I should be embracing it and seeing the joy in the little things - and most of the time I fail. Ive done counselling and anti depressants and neither seemed to take away this existensial crisis I seem to go through most of the time. Any suggestions?

It's far to easy to get into masses of debt nowadays with loans credit cards and store cards. Also with bankruptcy at a new high in the last year isn't it time we did more to educate our children at school about the dangers of spending more than you can afford?
