Supporting a Friend with Anorexia: My Story

Honestly, it’s so tough watching someone you care about struggle with anorexia. I used to think I could just tell my friend to eat, but it’s not that simple at all. What really helped was just being there for her, listening without judgment, and letting her know I cared no matter what. Sometimes we’d just sit together in silence, and that was enough. I learned to celebrate tiny wins, like her agreeing to eat a snack with me. It’s a slow process, and there are setbacks, but patience and unconditional support go a long way. If you’re in this situation, don’t give up on your friend, and remember to take care of yourself too. You’re not alone in this journey, and it’s okay to ask for help if you need it. #EatingDisorderSupport #MentalHealthMatters #RecoveryJourney #Health #Diet
