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

OP, I'm sorry 90% of the people in this thread are being assholes. I'm a recovering bulimic myself and I know how hard it can be. If your mom doesn't understand, please seek therapy so you have someone to listen to you and help you through these difficult times. And to everyone giving her crap for "wasting food middle Eastern kids could eat," it's not as though she's physically stealing food from underprivileged. Her not throwing up her pizza isn't going to buy one for a refugee camp. If you're so concerned about starvation, donate food or money or time to charities helping them instead of sitting around mocking someone on the internet. You might think you're Mother Theresa, but bitching on FML isn't putting food on anybody's plate.

Lame. That sucks that your mother did not react how you needed her to. I hope she comes to be more supportive. I wish you the best in your recovery.

The very fact that your mother had to look it up is proof that she is an idiot, and does not understand the concept of bulimia. That said, I just can't seem to feel sorry for people with these eating disorders. I share George Carlin's view on the matter.

it doesnt mean she's an idiot.. we're talking about bulgaria, everyone eats what they want there and most people havent even heard of these eating disorders to understand that they turn serious. its not like the us and canada to have to have people with eating dissorders so common. it's like a whole different world there, and her reaction wasnt very understanding because she doesnt know about this and most people have to bust their asses to pay for food and she just saw it as if she was just throwing away what she was providing for her.

seriously just about everyone on here is an ass hole hunn your moms a bitch and she just doesnt understand atleast you have the courage to tell her. i know i couldnt and shes probably bulimic because as long as you eat no one gets suspicious. if your parents find out your not eating they get all questionie and send you to a doctor.

OKAY, #1 and #37, **** YOU GUYS. you guys are ******* dickheads and don't know shit about eating disorders, obviously. so you shouldn't be talking I'm sure there are more people on here who deserve to hear that too, but honestly, I don't feel like reading all the comments. at least I'm honest. everybody that says eating disorders are psychological disorders, not anyone's fault, and extremely difficult to recover from are right. I won't go into a big rant about it because I have many times, as a recovering anorexic, alcoholic, self-injurer, and a sufferer of various mental illnesses (I don't care what you guys think about me for that because I know the truth about all those disorders/addictions. and I don't know any of you anyway.) but seriously. if you haven't gone through it yourself, either as the sufferer or a loved one of a sufferer, **** THE **** OFF AND DON'T ******* TALK.

Your mom is right. You should take up anorexia. With the money she saves not buying you food, she can make up for what you threw up, and then some.

I know how it is when you need help and the people you thought you could count the most aren't there for you. My family is rejecting me due to my depression. It is hard to accept it, but don't give up on help, and ask everyone that you trust for it. Someone will give you the hand you need, sometimes the person you expected the least. And it'll be worth it.

Not to say that she should have said that because that was insensitive, but she is right, you are wasting food. She should more concerned for you though.
