Am I overreacting?

I’m Mars and I have suffered from anorexia for a year. I’ve recently been doing really well in recovery, I’ve gained the weight back and been eating things I have been scared to eat. Before and during my anorexia I would always compare myself to my sister who eats whatever she wants and is extremely thin. My mother used to make comments about how thin and “amazing” my sister looked and it made me want to look like her.
Anyways tonight at dinner my sister started talking about weight and exercise. My mother kept saying that my sister looks like she exercises a lot and is what a lot of people exercise to look like.
I’m upset because my mother never has and never will say anything like that to me. Even when I was so thin all she talked about was how awful I looked. I’m crying. I will never be enough
In recovery, you should be able to access a counselor or therapist. Please do that. Anorexia is a complicated disorder and this site may not be the best place to seek advice. Therapy and/or a support group will help you deal with your mother, your sister, and yourself. I wish you a solid recovery. Keep on working toward that.

@PoetryNEmotion Thank you this means a lot to me. I am with a therapist and have a treatment team, I am definitely a lot better than I was. Thank you for your kindness :)
@Moonsofmars You are most welcome. You are a good person with a kind heart. You are enough. No comparisons. No criticism. You are beautiful. You will be healthy with help. You will learn this. Keep us updated.

You're not overreacting. At all. You are enough, though. Don't let your mother's ignorance and blatant disregard for your mental well-being cast a shadow on that fact.
Your mother is a narcissist... her behaviour is toxic and she is not a person that you need to be associating with if you can help it.
I say this with all love.

Fuck her.
