I told my friend a while ago that I have an eating disorder and since then she has been nothing but supportive and helped me so much. But a month or so onwards she's starting to act a bit weird with me like she's bored of me or something.

I'm just really scared of losing her. She's the only one I trust enough to talk to and she has been the greatest support I could ever have asked for. I know I don't deserve her though... It's just having her with me makes recovery seem possible..

I don't really know what I'm asking here, just maybe some reassurance about it. Has anyone else had a friend with an eating disorder? If so did you ever feel tired of helping them? Did you ever feel like just leaving them?

I'm so scared my friend will just dump me because she's had enough of helping me. And I know I can't do anything about it if she does... it's not fair on her I know.

Please help

it is hard to deal with, ask her how she feels and see if there is anyway you can make it easier on the two of you.

are you getting any other help, that might take the pressure off her? what about a help line occasionally?


This is good to do.
Let some of the pressure off her and stuff.
Also talk to her and see if its bothering her that you talk a lot about it before you do that.
And there is a help line? I never knew that. Whats the number?

Could it be that you have driven her away with constantly talking about your issue?

Alright BlueAutomatic, we know it's you.

On a serious note, just ask them if they're still bothered about you


It's not BlueAutomatic.. although I admit it's pretty hard to prove that

I don't want to ask her that though because it will sound like I'm being rude and expect her attention all the time, which is not the case..

Just talk to her about it and see how she feels.
I think that would be best..
