<human>: (Disclaimer: I posted about this a day ago but got no response, so I rewrote my post; English is not my first language)

I am writing to this community as I am in need for advice. My gf of one year has strong issues with herself and I don't know what to do and how I can help her with her problems.

Five years ago my gf took part in a student exchange to the US. There she was heavily bullied by a girl about her body which led to her becoming… bulimic. Ever since she dealt with negative emotions by eating uncontrollably and then purging herself by vomiting. 

In times of extreme stress, like when exams take place at the university, she does this on a nearly daily basis. Her ex (how isn't of any help) and I are the only to people that know of her issue.
She doesn't want to go in therapy as she thinks it is not a big deal and she doesn't want to talk about her problems to a stranger. I am myself in treatment for dysthymia (some sort of long term depression but with not as strongly pronounced symptoms) so I took her with me to see my therapist to give her the opportunity to ask questions about a possible therapy and to get an idea of how a therapy may look like, but she was very anxious and not able to really ask about anything.

The problem is that she doesn't want a therapy and I don't want to push her to do one against her will either but without the help of a professional I don't see her problems just fading away anytime soon.

What can I do as her boyfriend to help her?
Have you any ideas on how I can get her to open her mind to a therapy?

I am open to anything, feel free to ask me anything if you need further information.

Thank you very much for reading.
