Replies cowgirlyehaa Posted at 5:39 pm on Dec. 18, 2008 good, you need to be fixed up merryberrycherry Posted at 2:09 pm on Dec. 14, 2008 Omg she said that?!! That's all she said: "You disgust me" I am actually gobsmacked at this and I can't think of anything to say . Apart from your mother is very mean and she obviously has no clue what you are going through and it took a lot of guts for you to talk to her about it. You have more courage than I ever would! X Aliboo Posted at 11:15 am on Dec. 13, 2008 Ask her or someone else to take you to a hospital Jaxie Posted at 9:58 am on Dec. 13, 2008 Your mom is a huge jerk. I suggest telling someone aside from your mom, who will actually try to get you help, like a counselor at school or something. Call a Hotline, maybe, ask your mom for therapy... Something, because she doesn't seem like she's going to much help. isobel Posted at 8:40 am on Dec. 13, 2008 Realising that you need help is the first step. Your mother was probably in shock and didn't know how to respond to that - I mean, let's face it, your daughter comes up to you and tells you something major, you must feel like the worst mother in the world for letting it happen to your little girl, for not seeing it sooner, etc. Of course, she didn't take it well and it's not excuse for saying what she's said, but maybe let her think about it for a while, she may have just been in shock. When I told my mother I cut, she told me "Then you're crazy." and kept peeling potatoes. She never talked to me about it again. I can understand how you feel, but try to stay calm and give your mother some time to think things over, she might react differently to a deep mother-to-daughter talk. Tell her how you feel, no mother can stay indifferent to a thing like that. If she can, then ignore everything I just said. Try talking to a friend, a school counsellor, or a nurse at school. Explain your problem and say that you're seeking help, but don't know where to get it. Add that your mother isn't being very cooperative, you don't need to get into details, no one needs to know about your relationship with your mother. I was never bulimic myself, but I know quite a few people who were/are, and I have seen how destructive it can be, both to your both and your mind. The fact that you're looking for help is very positive already, and I honestly hope you get the help you need and deserve. If you ever need someone to just listen, PM me. edit: some parents are so convinced that their child is perfect, healthy, happy and has everything they could possibly need that they refuse to see that something's wrong. That might be the case, too. To a parent, recognising those problems is like publicly admitting they failed as a mother/father. misssmadejavuu Posted at 8:30 am on Dec. 13, 2008 I'm so sorry to hear that, you must feel even worse because she said that. Maybe you should try talking to friends or a school counselor, since you already told your mom there are no worries that someone else will tell her, and if they do it won't be a big deal, because she already knows. My mother is bulimic and I think she has been since she was my age (I'm 20, and she's 41), it's hard to deal with it, but she doesn't want help, and it is hard to help someone who doesn't want it.   It's good that you realized that you have a problem and you want to fix it, that is the first step to getting better, there are many people who will be willing to help you, besides your mother, it just sucks that she was so heartless to tell you that she is disgusted in you. Perhaps you should try talking to her and telling her why you told her that you are Bulimic, and maybe she will realize that you have a real problem and you are trying to get better. There might be some people on here that could help you and talk to you about it, but they are harder to find, I have never had an eating disorder but if you would like to talk you can PM me, and I will listen and try to help you out of you would like. I'm not gonna nag at you or criticize you, I will just try to help you out. Edit: I'm also sorry to see that I am the only one who gave a helpful and supportive response. Zetsuai Posted at 8:17 am on Dec. 13, 2008 That's horrible. I'm sorry. Don't let your mom put you down. She's wrong. motorhead113 Posted at 8:17 am on Dec. 13, 2008 Quote: from Energizer Bunny at 12:43 pm on Dec. 13, 2008 Owned. +1.

Try to talk to another adult that is more supportive, like a doctor or something? Or maybe talking to a close friend will help?

Try friends, or your school counselor. tennisplayerV2 Posted at 8:15 am on Dec. 13, 2008 wow what a bitch.... go to rehab and actaully get help... damn your moms a bitch. lucienlachance Posted at 8:14 am on Dec. 13, 2008 man ppls parents are crazy Miss Vanity Posted at 8:14 am on Dec. 13, 2008 Your mom's a bitch. guitargogo90 Posted at 8:14 am on Dec. 13, 2008 oh wow that's harsh. do you know any other adults you could talk to who may be a little more supportive?
