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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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.

My mom always says I never eat but all my friends say I eat TOO much. I think it's just a mom thing

To me it sounds a little overreacting, if this is the first time were you actually couldn't eat anything?! Did something else happened to make her think this? FYL op!

For what? A most likely self-limiting stomach bug??

Sorry about your luck, OP ... Most mothers wouldn't start calling their child out on an eating disorder unless they were given fair reason to – like a child constantly calling off of meals, claiming a stomachache ... But I'm sure that's not your situation.

I actually have an eating disorder and my mom doesn't believe me. Whenever I do eat I gain crazy weight and become really sick, so I am like the opposite of you

i'm sorry but i think it's just disgusting that your mother assumed you're anotexic when you didn't eat that's just such a mean and degrading comment

Saying that someone is anorexic or has another eating disorder is not degrading. People with eating disorders are not bad and they shouldn't be looked down upon.
