What do you tell/suggest to help a girl with major Anorexia problems?

[calveless wonder]

I'm trying to distance myself from this girl (she's the cokehead wannabe model whore i've talked about in a few of my threads) but i honestly feel kinda bad for her at this point.

she's not a bad a person at all and she's having major problems with anoxeria. she's seriously gonna die at some point between that and her coke problem...and she's only 20. She just told me she had a relapse (she's been hospitalized 3 times before)

not really my role or place, but i'm sure her shithead friends probably aren't helping. I wouldn't be surprised if they were anoxeric too

what do you tell a girl that's obviously on a road to destruction or death? Nef, i know you probably have some good advice about this

I wouldnt fuck with it, any girl that does rec drugs is no good. or let me rephrase, any chic the frequently does rec drugs and does not have either a real careeer or lots of money is no good.

i agree. i normally don't associate with these type of girls.

she was an abberation, and why i'm pretty much trying to get rid of her. but i seriously think she's going to die very soon and i'd feel like a scumbag if i didn't at least try to help (a little).

like i said, her friends are all incredibly fucked up in their own way. i'm probably the one logical voice in this girls life

maybe try and get her checked into some sort of inpatient rehabilitation program, these things only work though if the person has the desire and will power to change.

all you can do is let her know that you are there for her if she wants to change, i guess. I know that sounds stupid and cliched, but that is how I think it really is.

How many social workers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Just one, but the bulb really has to want to change.

You should contact her family and stage an intervention? If she gets mad then so be it...; you did your part however if shes not ready for help you are wasting your time/

lol, i have no way to contact her family really. they live like halfway across the country.

i'm just a dude she bangs and parties with, but we talk all the time about shit.

everyone in her circle is a scumbag or deadbeat except me, basically which is the only reason i contemplated helping

she is young, hopefully she is not in so bad that it continues into adulthood

most women come out of it as they get older for some reason
