-- Posted by Anonymous at 8:31 am on Oct. 4, 2008 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   -- Posted by Frubeling at 8:33 am on Oct. 4, 2008 Alright BlueAutomatic, we know it's you. On a serious note, just ask them if they're still bothered about you -- Posted by Boondox at 8:34 am on Oct. 4, 2008 Just talk to her about it and see how she feels. I think that would be best.. -- Posted by Anonymous at 8:35 am on Oct. 4, 2008 Quote: from Frubeling at 4:33 pm on Oct. 4, 2008 Alright BlueAutomatic, we know it's you.

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?
