My best friend and I for 5 years shared our ED together. My therapist tells me this is quite a common thing. I thought i couldnt imagine life without my best friend. we have shared everything together and have travelled overseas together.
But our ED has wrecked everything for good i fear. I told her i didnt want to see her, that i wanted to get better. I saw her for the first time last weekend...she said i was selfish for needing time for myself. i dont think that what she said is fair. sometimes we need to put ourselves first! BUT... i know its over. We decided on a fresh start...but i can just feel it. there is too much pain and too much of our past was destructive. It hurts...but i know ive tried. I hate that ED takes everything away at times. even the things we dont want to loose.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I think she's just not in that place in her disorder where she can be happy for you. She wants a buddy because it allows her to hold onto her disorder. It tells her that it is okay to be sick.
Once you leave the equation, she has to start asking herself if it really IS okay.
