do you see as your responsibility in dealing with a friend who is displaying signs of an eating disorders?

Answer 1

partially
you should help her..
tell some one who can help or something unless you can confront her and try to help yourself

Answer 2

I've read all of your other questions that you posted today; they all have to do with losing weight. Who has the eating disorder you or your friend?

1. If it is your friend, yes you have a responsibility to do something.

2. If it is you, get some help. People die from eating disorders.

Answer 3

If you had a good friend who was struggling, I'd talk with her and encourage her to seek treatment. Here's an article for helping a friend or family member with an eating disorder: http://www.edreferral.com/helping_loved_ones.htm

I would encourage her to seek help--at whatever level of care is comfortable for her. She really needs to be medically monitored and to have a therapist. If she's open to it (which I am guessing she isn't), a nutritionist and support group would be helpful too. She would also benefit from seeing a psychiatrist and being evaluated for medication.

Here are 2 links for ED info and treatment resources (therapists, nutritionists, inpatient facilities, etc.):

Answer 4

It is your responsibility to help the friend the best you can, see what's bothering her, if possible/necessary, tell an authority. Just talk to the friend to see what you can do.

Answer 5

A friend is someone who really show care, and if your a good friend you should advice your friend about anything that you found wrong in him or her. that's what friends are for. Just do it in a loving way!

Answer 6

You need to talk to her, and if she won't listen then talk to her parents or a guidance counselor. She might be mad at first, but she'll thank you later...(i know, trust me)

Answer 7
