Consult gynecologist: I am a psychologist so it is out of my field a bit but it is best to rule out medical explanations before making guesses. Any online advice would need to be supplemented by lab work and a physical exam. In my experience I have heard that bulimic behavior and anorexia causes abnormal cycles. Please consult your doctor and a counselor. Good luck.
