She Won't Get HelpThu, Aug 1st 2002Hope you can help? My wife and I have been married for almost a year. I will do my best to keep this short and simple. When we met she had bulimia, I thought that it was related to a problem in her recent past and thought our relationship would help stop the problem. A year later I am finding that it is much more than I thought. The bulimia is not as bad but the mood swings are extreme. I am not sure what to do, I am at the end of my rope and am doing my best to hang on. I don't think I will ever understand this disorder. She won't get help, so I need some. Thanks so much.
