I'm a recovered anorexic - AMA.

[elliandher5]

Diagnosed at 11. Went in circles from there and sectioned for the first time at 13 for a year. Been inpatient 6 times since then. I spent most of my teenage years on a ward. Had NG tubes (even a PEG), daily blood tests, constant ECGs, weeks in general hospital on top of inpatient stays - you name it. Didn't start my period until I was 21.

I'm 30 now and for the first time in my life can say I'm fully recovered. AMA.

Sorry, I've realised that might sound negative and disbelieving of your recovery. I just think that this is something that lies dormant, like the chickenpox. Just be careful and look after yourself, that's all.
