A female relative is anorexic. She has been for years, but is now the worst I have ever seen her. She knows she looks awful, and said to my mum that she liked living where she does as no one there judges her for it.
But. I really think she needs professional help now. I know she has to want to help herself. I don't want to antagonise or patronise her. I just want to tell her that I love her, and that if there is anything I can do to help, be that go to an appointment with her, look into therapists, listen to her, whatever, I am happy to do it. I just don't know where to start. Can I really just start (by email) 'you are anorexic. I want to help you'? She is so snappy at everyone these days, I do not want to mKe things worse for her
