Hello, does any of you have any advice what to tell a 14 year old with anorexia? I only communicate with her over e-mail. She writes me about serious-sounding health problems, and it is really time she sees a doctor! She also has bad family problems. I don't know what to tlel her. I keep saying to her to go for help, and she keeps asking me what this and that symptom means, writing me she passed out again etc, or couldn't even move one time, asks me "what is happening to me? What is this? is this a good or a bad sign?" (being out of breath,m haha, a good sign I would say or what!)... any ideas how I can concince her to get help? She has also attempted suicide before.
K.
