Important Prayer request

[Lee2006]

I've been looking through these forums for a while, but never posted. But I would like to ask everybody for their prayers for my girlfriend. She recently confided in me that she suffers from bulimia. I ask for your prayers to help her overcome this. I love her very mcuh and am very worried about her and her health. Thank you all in advance for your prayers.

Lord, I ask that you would be with this girl and give her strength to overcome her bulimia. Help her know that you are there for her and with her and will guide her through these rough times if she will look up and take your hand. Lord also give strength to her boyfriend so that he can support her and show her your love.
In Jesus's name, Amen

it's good that she confided in you, when you're bullimic it's difficult to tell someone what you're doing.

((prayers))

Hello and welcome. My cousin struggles with anorexia starting when she was a teen. It is not something that just goes away, and it is not something that she can do on her own. You need to talk to her about joining a program or a counselor that will help her..... and talk to her about confiding in her family.

I do thank God that she confided in me. Her mother is the only other person that knows and it took a lot of strength and courage on her part to tell me. Unfortunetly, her parents aren't a big help. They're the kind of people that don't like confrontation so they don't ever say anything to her. I'm trying to get her to go to somebody. It's hard for her because she's embarrassed. I'm hoping that God will give her strength to seek out help. Right now, I do what I can to help. I can kind of tell when she's doing it now, because she's talked to me enough about it, so I try to distract her from it (get her to go out and do something, etc...). Thank you all for your prayers. I know God will give her strength to help her through this. The best thing is that she wants to overcome it and she is opening up to me about it (i.e. the reasons, frequency, how a session starts, etc...). Again, thank you.

I quite agree the first step to any illness is admitting you have that illness and belimia is no exeption. Now that she has made the first step the hope can begin that she will beggin to get through this difficult time. You will need to be strong for her, and I'm sure you are and will be, good luck.

She and you will be in my prayers tonight.

God Bless

It is really wonderful that she confided in you and her parents about her bulimia and that you can be such a supportive source of strength and motivation for her recovery. I will keep her in my prayers!

Admitting her problem to you is a huge step. I hope you are able to help her find the strength to get help. I've had way too many friends with eating disorders... not one of them got better without professional help.

Praying for her beloved!

bulemia is actually more common than ppl think. it doesn't usually go away permanently. it's usually there forever, just not as extreme. the best thing you can do for her is remind her how beautiful she is, pray for her, and advise her to get professional help.

Just the same as any other mental illness, I have depression, I am not normally effected by it but I know that it will never leave me, you just have to accept these things.
