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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I had a stomach virus, so I didn't eat anything. My new roommate asked me if I was anorexic so to prove I wasn't, I ate a sandwich in front of her. Only to go into the bathroom and throw it up later. She heard and now thinks I'm bulimic. 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, my mother called me a "wasteful child" because I threw up my lunch. FML
Today, I wasn't feeling too well and consequently threw up. In an effort to get some sympathy, I told my mom about what happened. Rather than trying to make me feel better, she yelled at me because I threw up in the bathroom sink "when the damn toilet is two feet away." Thanks mom. 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 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, 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, after struggling with anorexia for months, I got food poisoning. FML
Today, my morning sickness was so bad that I threw up everywhere, just from thinking about the pretend meal that a kid had made for me. FML
Today, after four years of anorexia and lots of recovery, my parents took me out to dinner with my counselor and whole family to celebrate my progress. I ended up eating something that made me vomit everything I ate. My parents now think I am bulmic and are sending me back to counseling. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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.

Well if you get diarrhea be sure to save it so you can prove it was a stomach bug.

She might be partaking in laxative abuse!

Why is this voted down so much? Maybe she would get sick looking at it and throw up herself "Mom we need to talk. I think you have an eating disorder."

People are whiny b*tches on FML lately. I remember when people could laugh here, now everything is voted down.

Logic never works with mothers

Actually I always work with logic. Your comment is invalid.

what he meant to say is his mom doesn't work with logic.

My mum always hated logic too. Her way or the highway even when she was wrong.

When you feel better just eat a lot and keep it all down

Hope you feel better soon op!

It's a mothers job to overreact. Don't worry OP she will calm down once you start feeling better.

#16, because he's wrong

No he isn't.

Moms always worry. Just resume your eating habits once you're better and she'll realize nothing is wrong

I don't think that was her intent. Kids don't often talk to their parents, so it can be hard for them to know if there's a problem. I'm sure it came from a place of concern
