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.

For the people saying " Buliema and anorexia is not about them wanting to be thin" stfu because it is. People eat and eat and eat then feel bad that they've eaten so much so they throw up their food. It IS about the fear of being fat OR becoming fat. They look into the mirror and THINK they are fat no matter how many times people tell them that they AREN'T! It has a lot to do with self esteem and self image. It is a very serious matter but should definitely NOT be compared to schizophrenia! Also, you claim its a disorder that people "can't help themselves" but there are thousands of overweight people who eat too much. Some of them are depressed so they eat even more to comfort their depression and in some ways to them its like easing the depression down a bit. Wouldn't you say that's a mental disorder too then? But overweight people always get made fun of WITHOUT people knowing their situation. NOBODY knows OPs situation, so we shouldn't judge. But overweight people are easily told "go eat a salad fatass" or "go to the gym fatass" but the whole world will explode telling an anorexic or bulimic person to just eat healthier?

Almost everyone commenting on this is horribly insensitive. My mom did the same thing to me when I told her I was bulimic, and it's miserable. Bulimia isn't a choice, it's a disease, and not one to make fun of. I'm so sorry about everything.

Eat your mom and throw her up. Not a waste at all. Just kidding. Seriously though, find a more supportive adult to help you get through this. Maybe an aunt, or your dad, or hell, maybe a classmate. It really doesn't matter, as long as you get help. Good luck.

Oh my god! Thats so horibble! I hope you get better :) stay strong

Guys shut up about the starving children. This person obviously just needs a little help.
