I'm 18 years old and was diagnosed with anorexia a few years ago. Last fall I spent a little over a month in the hospital, and I gained about 15lbs weight, putting me at 5'4 and around 95-98lbs (i have always been thin). I started to get my periods again and I actually felt a lot better. Recently though, I've been having a hard time.
I usually eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day and I usually have about 1600-1800 calories a day. I very rarely eat snack foods or sweets, as I feel guilty when I do. I don't do a tremendous amount of exercise either, although I feel guilty if I dont at least exercise a little bit. I feel like I eat fairly normally, but over the past few months I've lost weight. I am now 5'4 and 90lbs. I haven't had a period for 5 months and I get headaches daily (im not sure if this is related or not). I also feel depressed most of the time, and have isolated myself from my friends.
I was just wondering if it sounds like I still have a problem. I hesitate to ask for help because I feel like I am eating normally, and I really don't need or deserve help because my weight isn't dangerously low. Does it sound like I still have a problem? I apologize if I sound stupid or pathetic, but I really don't know what to do.
