Save yourself grief, dump her and find a fit, stable girl.

I had anorexia so I can understand where shes at. Number one thing is don't yell at her or get overly mad with her, its frustrating but that kind of thing will push her away. Tell her how beautiful she is and how much you love her, and just that you're there for her no matter what and that you want to help her get better. Try not mention weight around her, even if you're just talking about yourself.

Something to remind you of though is that she isn't going to get better until she herself wants to recover. So you can force it down her throat all you want and threaten her but at the end of the day none of thats going to work until she actually wants it. Its going to be really hard for you desu because there really isn't that much that you can do other than be supportive to her.

This is a symptom of bulimia, not anorexia, btw.

But honestly, I had a sister with anorexia and bulimia and there's not much you can do. Leave it to the professionals and just be there for her. Do with her things you'd do with a gf without such an illness. Do things together, take her fun places, give her complements that don't relate to her weight in any way. Listen to her when she wants to talk, but don't pressure her to speak if she doesn't want to. Just be a bf, not a nurse. With such disorders, good times and some level of normalcy are mote important than trying to "help" her. Just remember never to nag about food and don't put her in situations that might trigger an episode.

Also, its good to remember that none of this is your fault. Don't blame your self or beat yourself up over this because Its probably very stressful for you. Her starving herself doesn't mean she doesn't love you or that you are doing something wrong. My boyfriend had thoughts like that when I was doing bad so I just want to remind you not to take her actions personally.

She has a deeper underlying problem she's not dealing with. Talk to her, help her, understand her.

I don't wanna address the illness, i just wanna be supportive and make her happy, i don't get mad at her or yell and i don't think she doesn't love me. It just hurts me seeing the person i love unhappy. I accept her with her illness and i told her that i love her with good and bad and that i'm gonna be here no matter what.

I don't wanna dump her, i don't run when things are hard.

Yes, she's bulimic and anorexic. That's the thing i'm looking for, how to be there for her, not solve her problems, but rather just be a good support for her.

I don't even understand her at times, she's almost like bypolar, but not quite, could this be triggered by daddy issues?
