pre-menstral stress without the period? (anorexia)?

iv been stuggling with an eating disorder for about 8 months. my period stopped almost instantly after i stopped eating but i suspect i still get pms.
i havent been monotoring when i get the sympoms, but through out my disorder i have had phases of depression, uncontrolable hunger (much much worse then the usual) breakouts of pimples. etc. it only lasts a short while, its just like pms. but no blood. and havent bled for a long long time.

well i was wondering, what part of anorexia actually causes girls to stop bleeding? and am i still experiencing pms without mensturating?
 
Anorexia causes girls to stop bleeding because there is not enough nourishment to keep the body functioning properly. Since you don't need a period to survive, it is one of the first things to go. It is a bad sign because any more damage from the weight loss causes multiple other problems that can include heart malfunction and organ malfunction. If you are still ovulating, then you are still experiencing PMS. From what I was told by my doctor, most girls don't stop ovulating unless the anorexia is incredibly extreme.
