My beloved wife suffers from ED

...See more Hello all. My amazing wife has struggled with bulimia nervosa for 4 years. Everyday it’s a battle. She has tried many treatments but nothing has helped so far. I try hard to educate myself on what I can do to best help her though this. But unfortunately we live in different countries for now, so it’s really hard to physically be there for her. I am loving, thoughtful, empathetic, understanding, and very optimistic. I’m quite experienced in personal growth with 16 years of sobriety. I want to help, I want to offer advice, but I’m scared that I don’t really know what I’m talking about. Or that my suggestion is the best for her. I feel like I need to reach out to communities who have been where I am for advice, resources, and support. I am committed to being there with my wife 100%. It’s also very difficult trying to balance my needs with her needs. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and it has led to my own anxiety. Anyway. Thanks for your time and concern

...See more Hello. I apologize if this is off topic. My wife suffers everyday with bulimia nervosa. And I am looking for resources and support networks. I spend lots of time online trying to educate myself on how best to support her and I do my best. But ultimately I am scared to offer too much advice as I am no medical professional nor her therapist. I am nonjudgmental, caring, empathetic, and generally full of optimism. But these are really trying times and I feel I need some new solutions and support if I am going to continue to be there for my wife. And unfortunately, we currently live in different countries so it puts a strain on how I can be there for her, and how we communicate. Thanks

...See more Hello. I’m new here. I’m looking for support on how to better educate myself on how to support my wife who suffers from bulimia nervosa. She has been struggling with this disorder for many years and has tried many treatments. But so far nothing has helped her recover. I spend lots of time online trying to educate myself on this disorder and what I can do to best support her. But it’s all just academic. And I feel like a fraud trying to give advice on something I don’t personally understand. I welcome any suggestions or emotional support. It’s very hard seeing someone you love suffer like this and not know how you can help them. I love her deeply and want to do whatever is within my power to help. The most difficult factor is we live in different countries at then moment, so I am physically not there for her. And I’m certain this causes more anxiety than I can imagine. So, hello. I hope to find some support here. Maybe 🙏🏼
