My Asshole Story For The Day
When I did my Emergency Medical Technician-Basic class it was 5 days a week, 8am to 4pm. I got into a circle of friends there and every day we all would eat lunch together. Also every day one of the chicks in our group would excuse herself to the bathroom for 15 to 20 minutes right after eating.
Me and another guy always laughed at this, making mock gagging motions after she left. We were joking with each other that she was heading to the bathroom to throw up. It was all a big joke and I never really took the time to consider it.
I have that chick in a class with me now and I was talking to her today. She made mention of her therapist and I asked her why she had one.
She had a therapist to help her through her Bulimia.
Instead of making jokes maybe I should have actually put some thought into it and realized she in fact could very well have Bulimia. Then I could have been a good friend and intervened and she would have received the help she needed earlier.
I suppose I just brushed it off because I didn't actually think someone I knew could have something like that.
Raise your glass to hindsight.
