Basically I know of a girl(far more then one) who is in great need of being helped for Bulimia, So, I'm asking everyone to help, basically, she will purge after a meal, or just flat out not eat to try to stay skinny, My whole point is to make an email, with many people's contribution, showing that the world actually does give 2 flying sh!ts about her, and what she is doing is not only not healthy, but could in fact kill her, and there are other ways of staying thin, such as eating healthy, and working out... Farther more, she needs to realize as much as I try to help her, she has to be the one to want to help herself in the end...

   

Is the issue even that they're not aware that people care about them? I don't see how a list of random internet people will convince someone to seek help.

   

Ask Marc Emery to talk to her.

   

I think the issue is not that we care or not, its that she doesn't care enough about herself to change her own ways.

I can only hope that most people with that type of illness reads that... And may be one person it brings enough courage to conquer it.

   

As far as I know, bulimia stems from feelings of lack of control of one's life, not a feeling of neglect.

I realize you're trying to help, but your efforts might be better put to use if you seek some help from an expert who can actually make a difference.

   

Anorexia or Bulemia is not curable by a couple of emails. Only therapy can help, and she has to be ready to go through that. It is like an addiction... You can't quit smoking if you don't really want to. She can't start eating again if she doesn't really sees the need herself.

I appreciate your idea, but it won't help her...

Good luck with the struggle... I hope she accepts the help she needs in time...

   

I can only hope that time is after she reads this, and continues to read it to help keep her strong...

one of my fav part of my huge rant:
now listen, one of my favorite f*cking movies of all time is click, wanna know why? because that movie teaches one of the greatest lessons out there, a father has to be there for his family, not only do shiz with them, and teach them lessons, but i bet you 20 bucks, if you ever told your mom or you dad, hey, get me some protine shakes, and get me a gym membership, because I think thats gonna make me healthy and feel good about myself they will do pay for that, straight up.


Also if you read the whole thing, I understand its an addiction (I can understand not wanting to read all of that as well lol)

The binging becomes an addiction that seems impossible to break.Recovery is very hard and often in the early stages of recovery the patient will gain weight as they are still binging but no longer purging, causing anxiety which will in turn cause the patient to revert back to bulimia.There are higher rates of eating disorders in groups involved in activities that emphasize thinness and body type, such as gymnastics, dance, cheerleading, acting and figure skating.

   

Find professional help. You're not going to fix this one over the internet.

   

Please listen to me here. It is great to want to help her. Know that you can not do it for her though. This may sound harsh but it is very real and very necessary. Show her the path to recovery, be very honest in telling her you love her, worry about her. Then there is nothing more you can do. If you take on her pain, her addiction, it will very quickly over whelm your life. You have to be prepared to walk away if or when it does.

   

She's going to have a hell of a time quitting lol. Because she diddn't eat regular, and for a long time. Her body stores more as fat. Meaning if she does cure her self and starts eating. She will be pretty fat in no time. Then she will feel fat and most likely be back in the same cycle as she started in. Not eating.

Unless of course she works out and loses the weight regularly after she gets fat and doesn't resort to not eating.

Personally, there is nothing much us internet folk can do about it lol. This is between her, and her only.

   

Please do keep contributions coming... this isn't just to help 1 or 2 people, its to help a whole lot of people...

I have added all of your contributions and will continue to do so; Contributions is very much appreciated, all of the different perspective and view points are needed and necicary for this to be as affective as I want it to be.
