How I Spotted Anorexia in a Friend
Last year, I almost missed the signs when someone close to me was struggling with anorexia. It’s not always obvious, and it’s easy to second-guess yourself.
💡 Watch for weird food habits—like skipping meals, avoiding whole food groups, or obsessively counting calories.
📌 Notice if they’re always cold, wearing baggy clothes, or seem tired and withdrawn. These physical and emotional changes are big red flags.
⚠️ If you see these patterns, don’t ignore them. Find a private moment, use “I” statements (like, “I’m worried about you”), and listen without judging.
✅ Encourage them to talk to a pro. Recovery is possible, but it starts with support—not blame.
