I'm terrified of eating disorders, but probably not because of the reason you're thinking
My best friend had an eating disorder, and it really scared me to have to see her counting and calculating and talking about how "this food is great because it has no calories." I was scared because I didn't know what to say to help her. She claims she's recovered (she got therapy and had to do some stuff) but she still pays too much attention to calories for comfort.
Just thinking about eating disorders makes my throat feel tight
Today my other best friend said she barely ate today and just said that "it was okay." I could just be paranoid but I'm scared, so I said if she has any problems with eating she can talk to me. She hasn't responded and I'm preparing myself for the worst when it could be nothing
I just don't want her in danger. I really care about her.
Eating disorders are terrible and I'm really sorry for anyone who has to experience them in their lifetime. I feel like it's not my place to be so fearful for it so once again I'm sorry

It isn't up to you to help so tell these friends to get help. Look after yourself.
ReplyYou're probably doing the right thing checking on a friend like that, anyway. But letting it get you in such a panic suggests that there might be something deeper to that fear. Whatever the case, you can't save other people. You can try as much as you'd like to. But unless they want saved it's hopeless to try. But what you CAN do is exactly what you are doing. Because what you Can do is to be available for those who want to do better to have a supportive friend. But that's all you can be. And it's definitely draining to give support sometimes so, please do take as much care of you as you do of your friends, alright?
