here we are again

so i've had a GP appointment and a headspace appointment and my parents are still saying i'm fine and i don't need help. that i'm being an attention seeker and that i'm being selfish by trying to get help for my eating disorder. my mum isn't even trying to understand my point of view. she's just saying that i'll be fine and if i say but i need the help, stop brushing it off, she'll call me an attention seeker an i'm being selfish which then just leads me to breakdown and weighs down on my anxiety and my self esteem as well as my confidence levels and how i view myself as person. i know she's just trying to work through it but she's being doing this for three months and she's not making it any easier for me to work through. i had to fill out a questionnaire with her for my diagnosis with anorexia and she keeps on saying i'm lying and that i just want a label like my father, that i'll get no where in life if i have that sort of diagnosis. i want to help her through the process but i don't know what to say and how to say anything to her. any advice?
