Answers:
Actually, maybe you should write me. My sister and I grew up with a narcissistic mother (one who turns everything into something about her SELF) and we both ended up with eating disorders.

With this minimal information, my opinion is that your mom will freak out when you tell her you have a problem. She will act like the victim and treat you and everyone else like it's HER problem.

Well, it's not. You need to go to someone else for help and take care of you. Because from my experience, if you try to seek help from someone like your mom, you'll just end up pampering HER and trying to get HER through a "tough time" and your own problem will remain ignored.

I have a jaded opinion, granted...since as I said, I grew up with a similar problem. At least, it SOUNDS similar from the little you've said. Good luck!

Well thats a hard one but if she loves you she will sit down and help you out
The best wasy to tell her is to say mom can we talk and then tell her your under a lot of stress and its causing a eating disorder
