I'm recovering from anorexia, will my boobs ever grow back?

Probably: Since breasts are primarily fat, until you have sufficient body fat for them to fill out, they are likely to be smaller than they normally would. If you return to a healthier body weight, they can be more substantial in bulk than what they are now.
