Does my friend have an eating disorder?

she hardly eats anymore, she doenst eat breakfast , she eats half a sandwich at lunch and two bites of food @ supper, she was gonna make herself puke once, but i told her id tell someone cuz i didnt want her to make herself puke but she took a thing too see if she had an eating disorder and she got a result of becoming anerexic and she has a lot of the symptoms of having an eating disorder, such as having an excuse of why not to eat, different eating pattern, dizziness, headaches, lightheadedness, wearing baggy clothes, complaining about weight or being fat, feeling worthless, sore throat, mood swings, depression, not sleeping well, leg pain , and excerising more than neccisary

If she doesn't have one, she's well on her way to having an eating disorder. Depends on how long this has been going on.... a week? a month? a year? Either way, she is getting herself in big trouble.

Sore throat? I'm thinking she is puking.

The bigger question is: what do you do?

sounds like anorexia to me. the best thing you could do for her is tell someone!

YES she definately has a problem get her help... Good luck and god bless

This could be Bulminia or Anorexia you must tell someone quick before it gets worse. But before you do just ask her why shes not eating if she says because I'm fat or I want to be skinnier like the super models help her. She better get to a doctor quick or she might...... DIE! I'm serious if she dosen't stop and continues she'll die so tell someone and help her stop.

tread carefully friend...I have struggled with anorexia for 10+ years. It is not a physical problem, your friend is having some trouble mentally and emotionally. the resultant of these stresses is the avoidance of food because eating is something she can control. not eating is the one thing that she has that makes her feel special and important. Its difficult to understand from the outside. But the best thing to do is approach her, while she is in a good mood, about her eating habits and the stresses that is causing the avoidance of food.

It sounds like she might be bulimic. If this just started less than 30 days ago she may realize what she is doing to herself and stop but if it has been more than 30 days she need professional help and lots of support from family and friends.
