Beware of anything anybody attributes as your fault during episodes of their mental health crisis.

Eating disorders are often a thing because the person having them is manipulating others because they can't/wont confront the cause of their pain.

And i doubt very much that you're the cause.

Give this person space and if they get confrontational call them out on their behaviour

@kqrind This is why it's best to avoid her. If you avoid her you're not going to be blamed by her.
