Hi,

I’m having some serious issues with the girl next door. I live in a dorm where she and I both have our own rooms but share a bathroom… and the problem I’m having is that she’s a raging bulimic and EVERY DAY like SEVEN times a day she purges and the entire hall hears it and she does this at like, 5:00 am and other times which really kills my sleep, etc. Ever since I’ve been here I’ve not gotten much sleep because of her. I do feel for her, I really do, I know it’s a mental disorder, but I don’t know how to approach her, and I don’t know that I even want to because I don’t know what I’d even say to her (It’s not like you can just tell a bulimic person to stop purging…) … I just want to have a noise-free week without having to think that my roommate is like, dying or choking to death or something. Can anyone give advice?
