Recently "I" wrote me about her friend "C".  "C" is in her twenties and a brilliant athlete.  But "C" suffered from anorexia so severely that she required several hospitalizations.  She can't perform or even coach because it triggers her anorexia.  She has no family support. Quite the contrary. Her family rejected her because of her sexual orientation.

Once in a while she does perform, leaving the audience dazzled at the beauty and grace of her excellence. But her actions, despite their beauty, trigger her and she falls into emotional devastation.  What, asks, "I," as her friend, can I do or say?
