I think my roommate has bulimia. Since the first day we moved in, I sometimes heard her gagging in the shower. When it first happened, I didn’t know what to do, how to respond, or what steps to take to make sure she was alright. She seemed fine after coming out of the shower so I thought it was normal for her. Unhealthy but normal. I don’t know what’s going on in her personal life for her to eat and purge but other than that, it didn’t manifested in any more serious ways. Based on conversations I’ve heard her have, she may have body image issues and a fear of getting fat despite having a fairly muscular build. I really started to get bothered by it when I saw specks of what I would guess to be her lunch at the corner of the shower and the way the shower got dirtier quicker. I want to approach her about it but I just don’t know how without sounding insensitive or disgusted. We’re not that close despite sharing a room; I could literally exchange two words with her in the whole day and it would be normal. I don’t think I’m the best person but I know about it and can do something about it. If anyone has any tips, please DM me on IG @dawnspringfield_27. Thank you in advanced!!!
