Daughter is bulimic

hi,

My daughter is suffering with bulimia and I am currently waiting for a referral to CAMHS from her gp.
She has been binging and purging for nearly one year but I only found out about 2 months ago. She is now suffering horrendous nose bleeds (up to 5 times a day) and her one of her eyes keep getting blood shot and she is bruising very easily.
My daughter has a boyfriend who she has only been with about 6 weeks but last night I found messages that he has been sending her that are really verbally abusive - he is calling her all the names under the sun for her falling to sleep and telling her to never message him again and swearing, really nasty stuff, her replies in the morning are always her begging for his forgiveness and her telling him that she is a bad person.
I have told my daughter that I do not want her seeing him anymore and this has caused her mental health to become very low and I’m so scared that it is going to make her illness worse, she is already very poorly. She tells me that he is sorry and that he doesn’t mean to speak to her like that.
Mira breaking my heart and I don’t know what to do for the best, all I know is I want to protect her and for her to grow into a strong woman that does not allow for a man to abuse her!
thank you so much for reading

I was bulimic for a good number of years, if you want to ask any questions let me know.
I use to purge on all the bad foods then feel
horrible so would throw them up. I had massive issues around gaining weight and worries I was going to be unattractive.
