My best friend thinks she's a fat ***?

Oh my girls with eating issues are very sensitive! I don't think it's a good idea to tell her that you think she's lying about her grandma saying that, but it's definitely not a good idea to ignore her either. Every time you see her just making a passing remark about how great she looks, or how thin her new _ makes her look, or how jealous of her weight you are even if you're not. I used to be anorexic and although nobody knew, it was all the random comments of how "great" and "skinny" I looked that finally got me thinking that I had reached the perfect weight and I began eating regularly and healthily again.

However if you really think she is liable to commit suicide, keep a close eye on her for one thing, and if she does anything that seriously sets alarm bells off in your head call some sort of hot line, inform her grandmother or close ones, or confront her about it yourself. There are many suicide help hotlines such as 1-800-SUICIDE, and the sites like

http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/ dedicated to prevent suicide.

After your details - If you just want her to be happy again and she's already doing her best to get her mental state back together with therapy, then I'm afraid the most you can do is stick by her, be a supportive friend, keep being a good friend who makes her laugh and is always there for her and eventually she will come around. There is no magic way or sudden solution to make depression go away, it's a gradual recovery.

being a ballerina she has a lot of pressure on her to be skinny. have u seen centre stage? she practically makes her self sick just to be a perfect ballerina.

and as for the gran, she does nto have the rite to speak to her like that! thats just horrible! but have you ever thought that she may have sed it respectfully because shes just looking out for her.

so what you need to do is speak to her and tell her she needs to see a councillor, its the only sensible way.

good luck

Grandmas should never say that. I would tell her parents what she said and tell them that you are feared for her life.

tell her to join yoga classes, definitely she become thin.
