How should I help her?

@Queendragonfly right I understand currently being friends n speaking to her sister about It can help.

Can you tell about what comments u got for being super skinny and why did u starve more?

@Genelia "Why aren't you eating?" "You aren't eating" "You look so incredibly skinny " "You're just bones" "You're like a twig" and so on , said by both adults and kids my own age back then.

Like I said. I starved myself worse because everyone's condescending / judgemental comments about my body made me feel shame. I dealt with the shame by controlling my food intake.
Some deal with shame feelings by binge eating or drinking or sex or gambling or drugs. For me it was starvation.

@Queendragonfly oh I see I understand. Actually I see some similarity with you and her on this matter.

What has been your average and minimum BMI if you know?

@Genelia BMI was severely underweight. I think I weighed around 40kg when I started to eat again. I'm 159cm tall.

How old is she? Do you know if she's taking any medications?

@Queendragonfly she’s around 35 yrs. height and weight is same as u mentioned I guess. Afaik she has iron deficiency and bit low immunity

@Genelia Probably. I think she need to see a professional.

@Queendragonfly I have also heard of people that became anorexic after being skinny shamed ( not this lady though)

@Genelia Anorexia is if she starve herself and don't wanna eat because she think she needs to lose weight. I had anorexia.

@Queendragonfly yeah but firstly she doesn’t take any help and not sure what kinda professional to take help
Form ?

@Queendragonfly oh anorexia is pretty dangerous and she’s 45 kg and doesn’t seem to be anorexic or eating issues

@Genelia Maybe start by getting her to see a doctor who can tell her she is sick.

@Genelia Then what's making her so skinny? Is she exercising a lot?

@Queendragonfly not exercises. She’s naturally petite, but I think she has developed stress with family initially and now taking care of a kid and recently had a stale birth
