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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Are you ******* serious? After FIVE YEARS my mother still didn't give a crap and I basically had to pull myself out of it. When I got better (or as better as E.D people get) she made a joke. Even if she's over reacting at least she's taking it seriously and gives a shit. Fherlife for having a stepkid that is looking for reasons to be unhappy.

Both situations have serious downsides. With people whose parents don't their issues seriously, their health and sometimes even lives can be endangered. With people whose parents seem focused on creating imaginary problems to occupy their time, the person's life is truly made a living hell. The parents usually will not believe their child and will stick to their false accusations. When your parent doesn't take the necessary measures to help you with your problem, 98% of the time there will be someone else who can also help you as well as non-literally smack the sense into your parent. When your parent turns the smallest non-issue into a giant problem/diagnosis all the time, they will continue to waste their time on that subject instead of ever seeing the truth.

I think the FML here is that she didn't think she had an eating disorder; she just thought that she probably wasn't eating what one would consider the most nutritionally balanced diet, a habit we often pick up when eating with friends and being young and carefree. It is good that her step-mother cares about her, but I suppose the possibility of one having an eating disorder is a slap in the face.

you know to everyone who is saying she is fat... she actually hasn't said what kind of bad eating habit she has, she might mean that she is under eating... i know... there is such thing as under eating its real, so maybe don't judge her saying she is fat...

Exactly. My first thought was that she might be under-eating, as under-eating is just as bad for you as over-eating.

Atleast your stepmom cares about you.. Mine makes me clean for her and her spoilt daughters.. And she keeps yelling "CINDERELLA!" Who the **** is Cinderella?

I get annoyed by these people with eating disorders... Just start eating/stop vomiting. It's not good for you what you're doing/there's no point to it/stop being such a whiner...

37, if it was really that simple, wouldn't there be a lot less people with eating disorders?

Yeah, it's really not like people can be like 'oh I wanna be anorexic' No it's stress that builds up, and ur never happy

NEVER admit to anyone that you might have a problem, no matter how minor. They might assume it's a bigger one, and try to 'help" you. And that gets really annoying.

U need to admit ur problems because u go into denial and it makes the problem worse But only tell people u can trust
