Hi,
I have a girlfriend who has mostly recovered from being anorexic. I've been with her just over a year, I'm absolutely in love with her and I can't imagine being without her. She needs help, and I don't know where to turn.
She was also very compulsive with her working out while she was malnourished, and has done some pretty major damage to her body. She's seen doctor after doctor, with no definite prognosis and not much help. All they can tell her is that working out while not being nourished, she caused muscle and possible tendon damage to her joints and other places.
While she does not have huge problems with food anymore (she's been seeing a psychiatrist about the ED) she has an extremely difficult time with the pain and not knowing what to do about it.
I was just wondering if anyone has experienced something like this, or heard someone talk about it. I would love any help, guidance, support, or referrals to other places to reach out.
I'm running out of options, and I just can't bare to lose her.
Thank you.
