How can I still support my annorexic friend who lives in a different place?

I have a friend who started going through an eating disorder in high school. She never talked about it, and would lie and say she was on a "gluten free diet," and only eat healthy things at school (this was pre-Miley Cyrus incident). I fell for it because I never saw her skip a meal when we were out, she would order a salad or just bring along her Lima bean cassarole. Also, we were in tennis and started training harder, which I thought was amounting to the weight loss as well. This summer after our freshman year in college, she opened up to me about it (and I think I was the first person). I have heard it is delicate to talk to them about it, and she goes to another college than I do. How can I be supportive, but not further endanger the situation? She says she is seeing a councelor and is trying to stop.

Recommended Answer:

Just try to communicate with her everyday - don't mention her disorder too much though. Start a conversation with 'How are you feeling?' just to let her know that you care. Then tell her a joke or a funny story about your day - don't treat her any differently. Maybe meet up every so often to go shopping or something. All you can do is just be there for her and make sure that she knows it. It's good that she's seeing a counsellor so you don't have the pressure of being the only one who knows. You're a good friend for caring so much.

Other Answers:

• Just tell her that you're always there to listen, and that you'll help her in whatever way that you can. After you tell her this, don't talk about it unless she brings it up. You don't want to make her feel interrogated or uncomfortable, so just make it clear that you're trying to be as supportive as possible.
