Best friend has been dealing for an eating disorder for nearly 10 years now. It seemed like she had recovered around 2018, and while her relationship with food wasn't fixed, she was at a healthy weight (~50kg, she's 151cm tall). Fast forward a few years, and around 2021 it slowly starts getting worse again, until 2023 when shit hits the fan and from a somewhat stable 45kg (underweight but relatively safe) in January she starts losing weight rapidly, with her period stopping and reaching a 36-38kg range within December.
Since then things have been getting even worse, especially with uni taking a huge toll on her, and now that she's in her final year and has lots of difficult exams and internships, I'm getting more worried by the day. She faints nearly every day, last week she was kept at least a week in the hospital with an IV to force feed her (which thankfully made her gain some weight, and that yet she is adamant to lose again). She also stopped talking to everyone, it's a miracle if she keeps in touch with me or other close friends once in a week or in a month, and the few times she does, it's like talking to a different person for how toxic she's become. I don't know what to do, if I can help her and how, in the past, she said I was the reason she got over her disorder years ago, I've tried to tell her the same things I told her back then but it doesn't seem to work, she'll just get mad at me and pretend I never even wrote anything.
She had been seeing a psychologist for the past 3
4 years or so, but absolutely nothing came out of it. She idolizes her therapist, and while she did improve a bit in some stuff, she got way worse in others, and it's like they both completely ignore the main reason she goes there, the eating disorder.
I just want my old, healthy friend to be back, I wish I could help her but I don't know how
