Get professional: Get professional help, make sure she starts working with a therapist and be there to support her as she goes through the therapeutic process. You cannot do it alone and neither can she. It is a serious potentially life threatening illness, so make sure she gets treatment asap.

Learn About Bulimia: You might best help her by learning about eating disorders & seek expert help/support 4 u & other family members. Check "get help" page of website of the national assn of anorexia nervosa & related disorders (anad): http://bit.Ly/16crmyh. Call their helpline: (630) 577-1330. The eating disorders information network (edin) also has very helpful resources: http://myedin.Org.
