Hello,
one of my friend was going through eating disorder, basically anorexia nervosa, she started doing yoga and meditation, she was also a part of some organisation which helps people come out of depression etc, also I Highly recommend therapy, whoever it is should visit a counselor. Because nothing can cure on the basis of weak knowledge, the counselor will do their job nicely.
Nobody feels the same way with ed so it’s hard to see from their pov but i think the best way you can help is for you to talk to them, make them feel safe. Therapy can help loads
Give them what they like to eat. Spend more time with them and try doing some activity. Don’t talk to them directly about their problem. Let them heal. Try to create a positive environment around them. I’ve gone through something like this, it takes time to be normal again, so be a little patience with them. If they don’t want to talk leave them alone and try again later or ask someone more close to them to do something.
