How can i gain weight after being an anorexic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anorexic: If you truly have the illness of anorexia nervosa, allowing yourself to gain weight may be very difficult without ongoing treatment. Your recovery will be a gradual process best managed by your psychiatrist, family physician, and therapist. If you've been in treatment before but stopped this, it's time to start again. There is always hope and help. Good luck to you.
