How to heal yourself from anorexia?

kfijatas asked:


This question should be actually split into two, because it involves healing both the character/soul that is used to the anorexia, and the body.
Just trying to help my friend out here. She’s been in anorexia for 5 years and many people tried to help her, yet she can’t stop.
Any help is nice.
And what if 3 therapies failed to help her?

    She needs to go to some kind of rehab. That is the only way she will be able to beat this

    She’ll need professional counseling, no one can get better on their own.

    It’s up to her when she wants to stop. Only she can decide if she wants to get better

    Try to find out everything you can about the disease, and tell her. She may not think she is anorexic until she recognises the symptoms. If she still wont listen, I’m afraid you will need to go to a doctor or psychologist, as she is slowly torturing herself. to heal the body she needs to eat a balanced diet, and not exercise much until her body is strong enough. Hope I helped, and I hope this girl recovers

    Motivate her,show her what she is doing to her self and the dangers of it.Go to macdonalds and encourage her to have a large meal. Invite her around to your house for a roast and try and get the message threw to her your mum has put alot of effort into this meal.If she if polite she will eat it up.Do this regulary and get her used to eating bigger and bigger excuses.If non of this works and you are reallly worried you should take her to get some help.They will talk to her and if worse comes to worse they will force feed her.

    She needs professional rehabilitation. My friend just got out of anorexia rehab about 3 weeks ago and she’s doing amazing. So google some help centers in your area and make some calls. I applaud you for trying to help her in a time of need.

    DON’T take her to McDonald’s or give her the roast your mom spent forever on!!! McD’s is too extreme to expect a starving girl to eat, and the mother’s meal is just a guilt trip and forced eating. She will resent you either way.

    I would suggest a rehab center if 3 therapists have failed already. It’d be really hard to recover on your own after so long.

    She needs to read the facts! Tell her to go to this site to find out what anorexia REALLY does to you. How can we sit here and let this disease kill our friends and family? I have already lost someone to this mess and I pray that people become more aware of this disorder.
