Prayers for my relapsing-bulemic sister, please?

[ChicksterJo]

As someone who also went through an eating disorder in my early teens I hope that your sister gets better. As sheila3935 says it is about control and self-esteem. I felt like I was in control when I had my body in control, and that was the biggest way for me to do it at that time. Encourage her or make her seek help.

Thanks everyone. She's had a fairly traumatic two years at college, and the eating disorder resurfaced after she was almost assaulted by a "nice" guy... for the fifth time in a year. She managed to fight him off, but it's been really hard for her to be there around him and around all the other creeps. We are already looking at getting her to talk to a therapist, and we will be probably locking down the food cabinets for a while, so there's less of a temptation to binge. She does have major self-esteem issues (part of the reason she verbally and emotionally abused me for a long time) so we will be very careful about talking about her appearance. She knows I'm always here for her, to talk to, and we are hoping she can get this under control again.

Prayers, Tani. Remember I'm only a phone call away, and you can call any time of day or night. I'll get out of bed for you.

I wouldn't do that for many.

Will be praying for her. It's a good sign that she let everyone know what was going on and is coming home for help.
