hey everone, my sister is 21 nearly 22 this year and im seriously worried about her health. in the past couple of months her weight has dropped dramaticaly going from a health 65kg to 55kg. im 16 and i weigh a huge amount more then my 21 year old sister. not only that but sometimes after shes on the internet and it's my turn to use it i see her history of websites and searches and it has things such as: proanorexia.com, on google i see things like: "fastest ways to lose weight", "easiest ways to purge" and countless images of borderline anorexic models being searched. i do feel rude that i am violating my sisters privacy. i want to help her and im so scared that shes going to hurt herslef. should i be worrying? should i be looking at what shes doing in order to find her problem? please help! peace
Of course u should. And of course u have to help her. You, your parents, her friends....That's an illness and the most quick u act, the most easy it would be to stop it. I wouldnt feel rude about that cause, ok, u're violating some kind of privacy, maybe no intentionally, but it takes u to a reality that ur sister is living and that reality, believe me, is not healthy. U better sit and talk to her. That's what i recommendo you Good luck.
Have you considered talking to her about your concern? Just something as simple as, "Hey sis I've noticed <insert issue here>, is there anything you would like to talk about?" If she didnt want anyone knowing the websites she 'd been to then she would have cleared the data, but you dont have to mention that discovery. Remember not to come off judgemental and whatever you do dont make this about food. Show her as much love and support as possible! Also, you should probably talk to someone about your concern, your parents, a school counselor, etc. Just make sure she knows how much you love and care about her. Ultimately it's going to be her decision as to whether or not she wants help. Don't blame youself. Good Luck to the both of you!
100% with Matt. She can do some permanent damage to her organs and muscle tissue by not getting a proper intake in her diet or lack of it. If she wont do anything, someone has to. Good luck....
people die from bulimia and anerexia you need to get her help quickly.pat yourself on the back for being aware of the situation, it could save her life.
I have suffered from eating disorders and it is hard to deal with. Its a very personal and private issue and Im guessing your sister didnt know HOW to clear the history or she would've. Anorexics will refuse help. They will fight and cry and beg, do whatever it takes but thats the disease talking. It takes over and doesnt care about your health or family or anything, so if your sis gets a little mad at you try and not take it to heart. You of course, cant get her help alone so try letting your mother in on this or father. Or anyone who could assist you helping your sister. Good luck <3 -Emily
