TW (Eating Disorders): Hey
Hey,
I made my account so that I could try and find out how to help my girlfriend, who has anorexia.
She doesn't eat when we go out and has poor self-image.
I'm not making assumptions about her having anorexia because she told me up-front.
I haven't been faced with anything like this, and it hurts me to think that she is unhappy with herself, because I think she is amazing, and all I want for her is happiness.
She's faced some trauma in the past, such as an abusive ex-boyfriend and father.
Thinking about her being unhappy with her body and therefore limiting how much she eats makes me really sad.
I don't want to say anything to her until I've heard from some people who have experience with this, so that I don't make it any worse than it already is.
If anybody has any experience with this I would be very willing to take suggestions.
