I have friends who suffer from eating disorders. I have learned that one of the worst things they can engage in is in developing dependent relationships with other girls with the same disorder. I am not saying that they should not have friendships with people with the same disorder, but a person who is suffering from this condition needs to surround themselves with healthy relationships of people who love and care for them and help them come out of this condition instead of sinking into it. I have also learned that this disorders warps the individual’s perception of reality, so feeding yourself with your own kind of thoughts and people with those same kinds of thoughts will only lead the person to further depression, loneliness and meaningless.
It breaks my heart to see so many girls fall into this kind of disorder because I have seen the kind of damage it can cause them and also the pain others who love them go through. I would encourage any girl who is suffering from this disorder to reach out for help- at the very least receive medical treatment. Below is a link of a recovery center that has helped some of my dear friends recover from this disorder.- There is always hope!
