My girlfriend is suffering from extreme anorexia and her parents don't care. Who do I tell how can I help?

Firstly I just wanted to say what a great boyfriend you sound like - caring and loving, really you do, so your girlfriend is very lucky to have you. You sound like you really want to help and understand her at a time when she really needs that, especially as her parents sound like they aren't doing much for her. Dropping that much weight... wow, can't they see she needs help?

In future be a bit wiser over your words with them, I know why you said all that to them but they sound touchy, at least you know now anyway. I'm not sure what else you can do to help your girlfriend other than get her a mental health act assessment to see if she is really a risk to herself. Other than that I'm so sorry but I'm not sure what you can do, not being her parent.

Be there, encourage her to talk. I am so sorry for what you are going through. Good luck.

Support her, love her, tell her you want her to live a healthy, long life, tell her she is beautiful but that you want her to gain weight because you're afraid she might die unless she does. She may need to get professional help. You should tell her this and help her find a clinic for people with eating disorders.

Like so many women with eating disorders, she probably believes that the skinnier she is the better she looks. That message is out there, and it's not her fault. But you can help her stop believing it!

Remind her every day how much you love her and want her to be healthy and happy above all else.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
