Need advice
Hello, I hope you're all doing well. English isn't my first language so please excuse all errors regarding grammar.
My gf - whom I love deeply - suffers from eating disorders. I need advice of how to help her as best as possible.
Currently she is in a bad phase - not as bad by her on account but from the point of view of a person that has no issues with eating, it's very worrying.
She hasn't really eaten anything without throwing up in the last two weeks. We had a talk about it yesterday and I reacted rather angry because I overheard her throw up, to which I didn't really know how to react. It just hurts to see her do this harmful stuff to herself, so I really want to see how to support her.
The whole concept of bulimia is very unknown to me, I cannot grasp the concept of "having to throw up"and not being able to do anything about it. I want to help her get through this bad stage and stabilise again (she had these problems when we started dating but hasn't had major problems in the last years).
What is generally the best approach to take, to help people in this kind of situations?
