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.

Bulimia is shitty. . .and so are ignorant assholes. But it's not a FYL. . . You'll get through it. P.S. posting about an eating disorder on a forum about funny mishaps is probably getting you more pointless ridicule than your mother gave. . Try a support group

#31 REALITY CHECK FTW! Don't post about a disorder unless you plan on having people make jokes about it. I read this FML and I laughed, it was ironic, plain and simple. I know how bad eating disorders are and blah blah blah, I have clinical depression so I can understand feeling really ******* shitty, so I don't wanna hear anything from those preachy people who have been posting all over this thing. I think the OP recognized how funny this was and that's why she posted it. Everyone else just needs to get a sense of humor ASAP. This isn't a freaking support group on here to help people deal with their problems. IT'S A HUMOR SITE. GET IT RIGHT.

AMEN! It IS funny and it drives me crazy when idiots just put YDI! Bulimia isn't something that's easy to get rid of and a ton of the people have no sympathy or supportwhatsoever! No even a sense of humor to to how much of an idiot the mom was.

The Bulimic Bulgarian... You should have a show ;D Jk, your mom was insensitive, generic your mom's a bitch insult here, generic how people above are assholes for saying you were taking away food from people in africa, blah blah blah. I know how to stop starvation in Africa. Make cannibalism legal for about a month. Though human flesh can get quite addictive.

Plus some of the proteins in human brains and other muscle tissue can carry diseases and then you'll be a crazy cannibalistic doctor like in Bones.

The wasting of finite resources is everyone's problem. However, this poor misguided girl probably just didn't know any better, and she's seen the error of her ways. Give her a break. Good luck, OP.

Food such as grain isn't exactly 'finite'. It continues to be grown, seeds are used to produce more... etc.

next time just chew up "her" food and spit it in her eye! maybe then she will get the point! seriously though, its awesome that you are ready for help. Do you own research online and find a help group and someone more compassionate to talk to. Use your mother's cruel behavior to strenghten you to doing better just to spite her and everyone...and most importantly do it for your health. I am sorry you have to go through this, and without the support of your mother i am sure it is even harder. You can do it, though. Millions of people get through hard stuff alone, and it'll make you a stronger person! Good luck on your journey through recovery.

...I like how your mother had to actually look it up online. Who doesn't know what bulimia is? FYL for having an uneducated mother.
