It's possible that she had a nervous breakdown once she got into college. So much pressure to continue her good grades, and she couldn't handle the pressure anymore. That explains her habit of skipping classes.
She's not going to be the friendliest person once she starts seeing the shrink either... they're taking her control over her life away... Imagine this. You're absolutely healthy, and all of a sudden, your eating habits are being monitored, then your bathroom habits, then your bathroom breaks are being timed, then you're not allowed to use the bathroom by yourself, then you're forced to eat over 3000 calories a day. Now imagine you're mentally unstable and all of that is happening, and they're making you eat, when that's the one thing you don't want to do... It's all so difficult for them. what they really need during this time is a friend, or someone to talk to. And not even about the anorexia, just about stuff...
Yeah, I don't know what her weight is, and I really don't want to know. She has always been small, so I dont even want to know. I totally think she had a nervous breakdown because she is stressed with college-that is the only logical reason I can think of. I understand she is not going to be the most friendly person, which will be strange because it is VERY likely I will see her sometime this month. She comes home for the weekends, or at least DID, I dont think she will now. I tried to tell Erica it wasn't her fault, but she is blaming herself and it is hurting me just knowing that she thinks that. I am REALLY trying to stay really strong about this for Erica, I don't wanna have a mental breakdown and freak in front of anyone, but she's like a sister to me, both Erica and Christine...I know 'em both really well. I really hope her parents do something, in fact, last weekend, before anyone knew she was anorexic (besides Christine, her parents found out later from the doctor) and they took her out to dinner at a chinese restaurant, and she cut each grain of rice into half to make it look like she had eaten a lot more than she had. Then, when they got home, Erica found Christine puking in the toilet, and she confronted her parents and they had suspisions too I guess, and they got a call the next day.
