Why? I thought I'd actually been putting off a good image as of recent. The way I look and feel is just a reflection of my emotions at the time, I don't understand doesn't everybody do this?
Sounds like you need to tell mom to fuck off. You do you at your own pace with shit like that, if shes being part of the problem, well. Fuck her...
You could try honestly talking to her and maybe seeing a doctor or talking to someone about it. Even if you don't want to, think of it this way, once your mom hears that you are actually diagnosed, she'll get off your back about it(hopefully).
