Am desperately worried for my friend and her 17 yo DD.
Her DD has suffered from low esteem for many years but it has now escalated into a serious and frightening problem.
She says she hates herself and is seriously underweight with bulimic tendencies, she also regularly cuts herself.
A worrying development happened at the weekend when my friend was called to a house party to find DD comatose and covered in vomit She had to be carried to the car by 3 men and when she was finally put in the bath, my friend saw the true extent of the cutting.
This is not the first time this has happened.
Sunday morning DD was full of remorse and promising to accept help but now she has decided counselling is 'a load of bollocks' and is refusing to consider it or even go to the GP.
Friend is beside herself with worry and has no clue how best to handle the situation.
I don't know how to advise her, this seems like such a precarious sutuation and I truely fear for her DD
