Told my parents I have an eating disorder. Explained what that means, how I feel about weight and how much self-loathing I feel towards my body and my self and the unrealistic expectations/ways my mind correlates weight with happiness and how I "achieved" the "goal" (through starvation, binge-purging, laxatives, and OTC pharm/"diet" drugs galore)

oh lille. :( seems unfortunately like a very typical asian mom response - well-meaning and blithely ignorant of what exactly ED entails, and the very fact that it's a disease, meaning you can't just will yourself better. it's so mental, too, the roots of it; if only it were as easy as disciplining yourself into ~proper behavior~. /hugs

lemme know if you wanna talk, okay?

I'm sorry. I'm sure that she can't see that she's only exacerbating your feelings of self-loathing. Can you actually get into a support group of some kind? Because obviously you're not going to get the support you need from your mother. Hugs!

Yes, this. You deserves support and help and understanding, and I am very sorry that you are not getting it from your parents.
