I've recently discovered that my Girlfriend has Anorexia.

She says she doesn't want help at the moment, which I'm trying to respect. But, it drives me nuts that she's trying to lose more weight when she's already healthy.

I don't think it would be wise to force her to get professional help, because she doesn't want it, I'm just worried and it's quite depressing that I'm unable to help.

What do I do? Is there anything I can do to help her through this?
>>
She really needs professional help. It's not something ahea just going to stop doing one day, and she will get fucking sick.

This.

It's her denial that's kicking in and saying "I don't need help."

She needs help before she loses more weight and gets sick but then says "No, I want it."

Just because you acknowledge your sickness doesn't mean that you're right to resist treatment, and I'm sure that she's rationalizing it or has been since day one.

I don't know how to help you anon, but you need to act on that fast. Help her, even if that means that you sleep.

Self correction: ...before she loses more weight, gets sick and then still says, "No, I don't want/need treatment."

[I have no idea how I typed "sleep" instead of "break up"]

>I respect the decisions of people with mental disorders to not get professional help

Were you hit in the head as a child?

She did go to a therapist about it once, but said they didn't help. I think the reason it didn't help her is because she didn't want help in the first place.

Don't you think to receive effective help, you have to want it first?

I'd like her to want help first, or else it won't be effective. She's said that her mother forced her to go to therapy, but it was useless (Which is because I'm assuming she didn't want help)
