Yesterday my friend Cheryl* told me that Diana*(my best friend of almost 10 years) was making herself sick.

We have no idea what to do. We have recently thought that Diana was looking thinner. And before she has admitted to looking in the mirror and being physically sick. Obviously it was a huge shock but after i started researching it, it all began to fit. Diana's half brother has bean recently diagonosed with cancer and week or so later her grandad was told as well that he had cancer, so she has been under a huge amount of stress as her and her brother are very close.

She has always been self conscious about her weight ever since she was a little girl. Her brother and father always tell her that she is fat and useless, which does not help. Because she is under constant pressure form her family she is the most highest acheiver i have ever met. According to a website this can all contribute to being bulimic.

At the moment my friend Diana is on holiday in New York, I didn't want to spoil her holiday by asking her if she purged. When she gets back I am going to confront her and hopefully she will admit it again to my face.

Do you have any advice?
