hi there friend, Im so sorry you are suffering as im an anorexia, Im afraid after a while its so hard to put weight back on as you have done to much dammage to your insides, to ever recover. talk to your doctor. In case you want to stay thin, dont try and get better put weight on as you will find it so hard if one day you change your mind about looking like a skellington forever trust me.
