By I'm just sick, really - 02/05/2015 00:33 - United States - Springfield

Today, I felt sick to my stomach, so I told my mother I didn't want to eat dinner. She started accusing me of being anorexic, so I ate a little bit anyway to make her stop. I then threw up, only for her to take it as confirmation that I have an eating disorder. FML

Maybe she'll notice that when you feel better you're no longer throwing up and you can tell her you told her you weren't anorexic and just weren't feeling good.

anorexia nervosa isn't characterized by "purging", that's bulimia. jeez, if she's going to accuse you of having an ED, she should at least have her disorders straight! obviously she doesn't have a clue what she's talking about, sorry OP

Well...anorexia sometimes does have a purging component, but not everyone with anorexia does it, and it's not like binging and purging like with bulimia. People with anorexia just purge what little they eat, if they purge at all. But either way, the mom was way out of line. If OP said she was sick, then she was sick, and that should have been the end of it. Unless it's a regular thing, there's no reason to get all upset.

My mom kept saying I was vegetarian because I switched to an organic only meat diet, and blamed my diet on a day where all I had was a stomach bug >.>
