My new flatmate has anorexia. I have already been through anorexia/bulimia with another flatmate, and although I don't think I hindered I don't know if I did enough for her (she seems ok now- I still watch like a hawk for symptoms) I don't know what to do for my new flatmate as I don't know her as well as my other friend.

I'm not pressuring, or discussing food (other than in a general way) - only her emotions/feelings, wrries ect. I ask her how she feels and try to calm her down about things in her life. I know she has been suicidal before (I asked her at the time).

She is already receiving counselling and meds. I'm just trying to be supportive in a non controlling way. Sometimes I worry my approach is too non involved. But at the same time I am not her parents and I am not going to force anyone to do anything. I know you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. But I think she does.

Sometimes I feel I'm missing something important in helping, but at the same time I don't want to blunder in causing more damage. Any suggestions?

Here's hoping she doen't look at this site as my ID is a dead givaway...If she does read this - sorry I just worry.
