Mental health, Eating and Health: ED much?

ED much?

By Anonymous - 12/01/2011 01:04 - United States

Today, my step-mom asked if I was having some eating issues. I admitted that maybe I've picked up some bad habits from friends and school. Now she won't stop bombarding me with self-help books and therapy websites. FML

Today, I admitted to my parents that I have an eating disorder. Instead of trying to help, my mom stared at me and said, "Duh". FML

Today, I finally broke down and told my mom that I'd relapsed with my eating disorder. She told me to quit whining and eat a burger, because she didn't want to pay for another therapy session. FML

Today, I told my mom that I'm bulimic and have been for a few years, and that I needed help. She responded by saying, "Well that's clearly not working for you. Why don't you try anorexia?" She then patted me on the head, smiled, and walked away. FML

Today, my mom asked me if I had an eating problem because I've been eating less. I only started eating less because she told me I ate too much. FML

Today, I decided I need help, so I confessed to my mother that I'm bulimic. After she looked it up online she started screaming at me for "Wasting food that I'm not paying for." FML

Today, after I skipped dessert for the third day in a row, my mom cornered me and accused me of being anorexic. I'm actually not far off being clinically obese and I'm just trying to diet, but nothing I say will convince her. She wants me to see a psychiatrist about a disorder I don't even have. FML

Today, I'm staying with my mother for a week. Every time I eat something, she tells me that it's "swimsuit season" and that I need to eat less. Every time I say I'm not hungry, she panics and insists I have an eating disorder. I can't win. FML

Ex-friend

Today, my friend, knowing my mental health is really bad right now, decided to yell out the fact I have an eating disorder, and how she never sees me eat ever, then started to talk about self-harm and how she would never do it despite what she has gone through. All while side-eyeing me when talking to other people. FML

The root

Today, I got a lecture from my mother about how bad my stress has been, how I have to treat myself better and do something with my life. She still doesn't realize that most of the cause of my stress has been from her berating me about how stressed out I am. FML

Mean meanie

Today, my stepmother, an uncontrolled diabetic who refuses to change her abhorrent eating habits, berated me for how "mean" I am for limiting my kids’ junk food, and making them eat a portion of vegetables with every meal. Yeah, real mean. FML

Yes, and if you're depressed: just be happy. It doesn't work that way FYLDeep.

She's obviously just trying to help. She cares-- and although that can be an annoying thing, it's a good thing. You might need the help. Back when I had an eating disorder, my 15 year old self thought it was annoying to have my mom always be making sure that I was eating. However, my 21 year old self is glad that she cared enough to help me overcome the disorder.

It sucks that you have eating issues, and I hope you recover quickly. However, I must tell you that I'd be freaking GRATEFUL if my parents had cared enough to "bombard" me with therapy websites and self-help books. Instead, they told me, "Get over it. You're just doing this because you like the attention and you're vain." Maybe if they'd supported me in my recovery, I'd be a little less screwed up. I voted "YDI", because you do deserve to have a step-mom who cares enough to offer you helpful resources.

I agree my parents were just like "you just want attention" I don't think I'll ever be able to eat properly and it will always be their fault FML

You should consider yourself lucky I have a serious eating disorder and by REAL mom couldn't care less I'd be delighted if she took such an interest in my life! Not being rude but you need to take a look at yourself and realise you have a pretty good Step-Mom! Just saying.....
