Hey Sophie, I'm so glad to hear you're working on recovery from your Anorexia. Periods can be tricky even when you don't have an eating disorder. It can take awhile once you're weight restored for it to come back. When you skip a period, it's your body saying that it wouldn't be able to maintain a pregnancy if you were to get pregnant. Once you maintain recovery for awhile and you continue to stay healthy, your period should come back. This is something my mom told me, I don't have an official source for it.
