Choosing our words carefully

Oh my God, I can't believe what just happened. God please take control and help Maureen wherever she is.
Ladies, I was just on one forum where a sweet girl, who just started with MFP posted a question asking for help. Some people didn't understand that she doesn't like doctors and was trying to get help for her situation. They kept telling her go see a doctor and see a dietitian and why did you post if you don't want to hear people's responses. I tried to help and defend her in a way that was polite but then someone told the girl she had an eating disorder. I had emailed her and told her that she can talk to me. She replied and then when I tried to email her back again, it said user unknown. Checked friends and she was gone from there too. Please pray for her. I feel she might just do something stupid.
It just goes to show that we should be careful what we say to others all in the name of trying to help. Now that poor girl may not get the help she needed. Jesus, please watch over her. Holy Spirit please guide her steps and bring her someone that can help her where she is. Angels watch over her and protect her

Amen. I am praying that she is ok. People definitely should definitely be more careful. Words have a bigger impact than they realize.0
