My friend isn't eating anything. Need suggestions?!


Question: My friend isn't eating anything. Need suggestions?
I really want to help my friend who went through some emotional trauma recently. She hasn't eaten in days and says any time she puts food in her mouth, she feels really full and like she'll throw up.
Knowing her, she's definitely not going to go to the doctor. I need suggestions for things she can buy--LIQUID things--to help her health, like vitamin water. Any specific brands with a lot of essential nutrition? (She won't drink smoothies by the way)
Hopefully she'll get over it soon and start eating solid food, but for now I need some ideas to get her nutrients.

Answers:

Ensure is a trustworthy liquid meal replacement, or basically as trustworthy as you're going to find anyway. However whether or not she drinks them is the next dilemma, it sounds like she wants to be self-destructive, as though this is a defense mechanism of some sort for her Brain. There is not much you can do. You're a good friend for caring but she is somebody else so unfortunately you cannot control her actions. It sounds like she is in desperate need of a Counselor or Therapist before this Psychological problem becomes a Medical problem as well. Don't worry and take care of yourself first, that is most important and you are really the only person you are in control of in the end. Best wishes.

okay, well i honestly think she has it all in her head and if it isn't in her head according to her , you need to force her to go to the doctor and see whats up, because that is really dangerous for her health. if its so emotional , then she needs to just get it over with and eat something. healthy of course. :)
