Help a Friend
How to Be
Friends may show symptoms of eating disorders, including eating alone, eating at strange times, eating large portions, or barely eating anything at all. It may be difficult to bring ask a friend if they are having trouble eating. Remember to be supportive and sympathetic.
Support Yourself
Do not get angry at yourself if your friend does not want to get help or does not think they have a problem.
