*sighs* I feel so sorry for people with problems like this... they just get so lost... and you can't just find them and lead them back, they need to take part of that path alone before people can really help them.
That's a scary resting heart rate. I monitor my pulse, because I've had health issues that affected it. When I was on drugs to artificially lower my heart rate, it dropped to a constant, steady 60 beats per minute - and that scared me. That's low. And she's well below that.
I wish it were as simple as saying, "You're thin. Now go eat." But then, I wish, "Just snap out of it." or "Think happy thoughts." worked on depression or other mental illnesses, which is obviously not going to.
There's just so little that anyone can do. I remember, back when I was really sick, I felt that the help people were trying to give me was like throwing sponges at the ocean.
