Help My Sister?!


Question:

Help My Sister?

I have never had any problem with Pro Ana sites on the web before, afterall you only get one life and you should feel free to live it as you feel. If you want to starve yourself and die then do it.
I still don't have anything against Pro Ana sites which some of you may seem really weird considering the predicament me and my family are now in.
My sister Ruth is 14 years old and she is anorexic. I have never seen such a change in mood and personality of a human being, and would never have expected this coming. 6 months ago she was 9 stone, she was healthy. she was happy, she was normal. 6 months later and she now weighs just over 5 stone. She is constantly miserable and looks dead.
I keep trying to get through to her what she is doing to her body and the affects its going have on her in later life and she just doesnt care. My doctors are useless! All they have said soo far is she is still above weight and when she loses 2 more stone they will do something about it. I cant wait that long,


Answers:

Surely at just over 5 stone she is on the verge of shutting down already?
Poor you, all you can do is show her you love her, whatever she looks like and trust that her innate sense of self will come back to her, once she has sorted out whatever is bothering her enough to want to starve to this point.
The very best of luck, don't suffer alone, talk to some trusted adults to share your worries
