Eating Disorder Or A Temporary Thing?!
Question: Eating Disorder Or A Temporary Thing!?
One of my friends has been worrying me lately!. She doesnt seem to be eating much lately!. I mean before she didnt eat much but now it seems like she is not eating at all !.She is living on coffee!. I mentioned this to her and she told me she eats all the time and does not have a problem!. She has also lost weight!. I can tell by looking at her, but again she denys she has a problem!.I have noticed the clothes that once fit her seem to be just hanging off her!. Is it possible she might be anorexic!? Or am I just imaginging things!. Whenever I mention her not eating she says she already ate, or isnt hungry!. Someone please help I dont know what to do and I dont want to lose her as a friend, but I feel I need to help her!.

Well she is 28 so I am not sure how to get ahold of her mom!. Her and I work together!. There have been days we hagve worked up to 12 hours together and she either didnt eat or just picked at her food!.

she has mentioned she doesnt sleep well at night, and she also gets migraines quite frequently but I think it might just be an excuse for people to blame her lack of eating on the migraines!.

Answers:
it could be an eating disorder!. there is a high chance that it is!.
you need to sit down and talk to her
and maybe you could put together some resources like find a few therapists in the area and some treatment centers and get a few websites that help recovery for eating disorders!. and sit down and talk to her and give her the stuff you have put together for her!.
cuz then she's more inclined to give you a straight answer and you guys can really talk about it!. make sure she doesnt weasel her way out of answering!. ask her to atleast look in to it
she could get angry with you!. but she will eventually see that you are just trying to help her and she will see that you careWww@Answer-Health@Com

This definitely sounds like an eating disorder!. She sounds very defensive about it, and says "she eats all the time and doesn't have a problem!." That definitely sounds like denial, and you need to talk to someone about it with someone who she trusts, like a family member as soon as you can!. The sooner her problem is addressed, the easier it will be for her to get over!. Oh, and she may not be lying about the insomnia, but insomnia is another symptom of anorexia, along with migranes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
