SouthernSunshine Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I've been living with my best friend for about a month now, and I have strong suspicions thats shes bulimic. Her behavior is just odd sometimes, especially when shes just hanging around the house not doing anything. She gets very pissy for no reason when she supposed 2b enjoying her days off from work. She has 2 know when we are having dinner, lunch ect. She has to plan meals and shes obsessed with food. Her teeth are clear, she has jaundac, brittle hair, purple colored tongue from time to time... and her breath smells acidic sometimes, and other times its like a very bad garbage smell... not your normal bad breath. She goes to the bathroom JUST BEFORE we eat, then soon after. She always has gum with her, in her car or bag. She carries a back pack to work with her where she has plastic containers inside (lefover food storage)... Her lips get really chapped and sometimes they are blood red, neay bleeding. I dont know what to do, or if I should do anything. I dont know if this is my business or what. I love my friend and this scares me. Shes always slapping her stomach & talking about taking weight off. Shes not fat! ( Link to post Share on other sites
Philosoraptor Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Sometimes we need to confront people even if we believe it may upset them. Explain your worries in a comforting way and make sure that she knows that you care about her. Accept whatever she has to say, and if she deinies it then apologize for being wrong... even if you aren't. Hopefully at the very least you can plant the seeds for her to get help.
