Im about to lose everyone and idk what to do with no friends

Im counting down till the days my friends leave me.

Bit of context ive always been different to my friends partially because they are all Tamil and im from a different culture. There has always been stuff ive not understood and ive always been separated in a way.

Now ive finally realised that they are going to leave me and I have one other friend that had also actually said to me they don’t think we should still be friends.

I struggle with talkimg to people in general and I won’t be able to make new friends till uni so how do I stop myself from being lonely and depressed for the next three to four months

My male friend is anorexic

Im a female and I don’t have much knowledge on eating disorders. I understand mental health I’ve had my own self harm issues and depression so I get some of the feelings he tells me but I don’t know how to help.

He’s told me he has had body issues and has had fat comments previously. He got diagnosed with anorexia recently in April and has been given medication- I don’t know whether he takes them or what the medication actually is. There was also a passing of one of his family members recently so that might also be worsening the problem.

He has also told me he has been making himself throw up i haven’t been told how often. He also says he barely eats and if he does it’s one meal a day.
I also think that he might be depressed too but I can’t help him with that I don’t know how I got rid of mine and I still have mild depressive episodes.

Of course I can’t solve his problem and he says he can sort it out anyway and I know from my own problems he will NOT be able to do that😭

I’ve been doing research and my plan is to put some information thing together for him to show like just information on the subject and ways to sort it and like how other people have sorted it I don’t really know what im doing. Im an overthinker and I know he won’t want help from me and I know he won’t help himself so this is a way I don’t have to help him directly.

Does anyone have any advice on how to help the situation or just anything would be really appreciated
