I have a friend and hadn't seen him for long while. Recently, through another friend, I knew about he has some sort of health problem. Either he is bulimia, or anorexia, he refuse to eat, or maybe he doesn't want to eat food. Due to many factors, and we won't know about. He definitely becomes much thinner than before, and he doesn't have energy to do things; sometimes, even he barely can stand up and walk. Today, he fainted, and his wife has to call 911 to bring him to the hospital for treatment. Oh my gosh, what is wrong with people nowadays. I just worry about him.

Oh I feel really sorry for your friend. Maybe he really does have something that is stopping him from having a good appetite to eat you know. Even me not eating well for 3 days, I already feel dizzy and get too much pain on my stomach. I hope he is going to be OK, have you visited him yet?

I will visit today, and I want to see him and talk to him about his problem. I really have no idea what stopping him from eating. That is not normal, you know. I wish that he will get well soon! Or we can go to a buffet place and eat all we can.

I feel very sorry for your friend. He is unable to eat due to mental distress and that is very hard to solve. One of my friends has anorexia and she is uncomfortably thin. She eats vitamin pills and only has a little food. She sometimes feels faint and has weakness. It is a shame that your friend got to the stage that he went off to hospital. Bulimia is when a person eats but then sicks up the food deliberately. I feel just as sorry for people that suffer from that. Due to my friend I am very aware of eating disorders. I hope that your friend will be helped back to a better stage of mental health so that he is able to start eating again.
