ramblings
bored at the moment...hehe just went downstairs to eat...again!!! lost count of how many meals i've had today so far >.< ah well...hmm lost like 1 1/2 kg over the past month hehe shall be happy if the weight doesnt come back one :P unless it's muscle mass i lost, but then ive been exercising pretty regularly these days :S
a friend called me the day before yesterday, asking about how you would support someone who's been diagnosed with anorexia and is now receiving treatment at a clinic. not sure actually, cause it varies. guess the main thing would be to support them and continually show them love. keep encouraging them to see what life is really about, and try and help them deal with underlying issues, cause very often it's those issues that has led them to be anorexic. but keep supporting them, and love them not because they are in need of it, but because you love him/her....they wouldn't want to be loved just because they are currently "sick". oh, and it's often when you're starting to come out of the condition, starting to put on the weight again, that's the hard part. but yeah....im not professional though hmm....no need to ask me this kinda thing :P hehe yet anyway!
sigh wot should a girl do when she has feelings for a guy...tell him, or keep it to herself? she believes that he doesnt like her "that way" though. it's not that she feels she's ready for a relationship, or really needs one at the moment, but feelings....grrrr. wondering how he feels, or felt, yet at the same time certain that he feels nothing of that sort. prayer. yet despite such certainty, the feelings linger inside her. she just wants to get to know him more.
no, im no counsellor

Hey I think you'd make a great counsellor! Much of it is simply about listening to people's problems... and I think you're great at that =)
Hmmm...
*wonders who vincy is talking about in the last bit*
Which clinic is your friend's friend staying out? My understanding and experience shows that relapse is quite high once they leave the clinic and face a stressful situation again. Even the famed Montreal clinic closed due to lack of funding. Um if you want, I have the contacts of one or two specialist anorexia counsellors/psychologists but it is quite $$$. Just tell your friend to encourage her to live her life as normal. Thats the main thing, that and no pressure, especially on eating. Oh yeah, avoiding meetings too early in the morning and during meal times is good if you know what I mean.
Your other friend should see if her friendship with the guy is important, if it is, don't ask.
