Partner has ED (B) and is struggling. How to help?
Hi all, my partner has recently admitted to herself & I that she has bulimia. This is the first admission/coming to terms of any kind & we are the only two people that know. She worked very hard over the last 9 months to hide it from me, although I knew she was vomiting daily, she always kept a long thought-out of conspiracy of what it ‘could’ be but didn’t like me pushing too hard for answers. I had a feeling all along that it was bulimia. Now that she’s made the first step, I’m really concerned, as the only research she’s done into it recently is things like ‘tips on how to vomit more/easier’ which is obviously the exact opposite to getting help. She’s had such a rapid loss of weight, she can barely walk around without being dizzy and faint. I’m scared that it’s going to accelerate but I don’t know how to help her. She’s agreed to talk to a therapist if I arrange it, but she will only do that alone. Do I just have to trust she’s being honest? And she’s convinced (because she’s currently a ‘healthy weight’), that nothing is wrong with her. Any advice or suggestions is/are welcome. Thank you
