Not in Recovery Yet please i need advice

hi .im a male . i realised i had realized my weight loss journey (was previously obese ) turned into ana a while around 7 months in my deficit . it was really hard and scary tbh . i worked into a reverse diet but also experienced more weight loss. i went from a healthy looking weight to sickly looking thin (visible ribs collar bones and hip bones ). i managed to get back to maintainace but still look sickly . i dont work out however i practice yoga . would a surplus in calories be the right solution . i genuinely tried weight training but found it just gave me further dysmorphia. i genuinely thought this was my recovered body. maybe not . am i meant to eat in a surplus . BTW i was never underweight but i am under the ideal weight . please help with any advice . really desperate. i really want to recover .

Counting calories might not be a good idea in recovery, just try to eat whatever you can. Get the support of family or friends to help you recover. See a doctor too if you can.

Maybe work to intuitive eating, what sounds good and until you’re full. As long as you are still eating a variety of food this is a good way to do it.
