Eating Disordered and Bruising Badly.?


Question:
I have been battling anorexia and bulimia for the last 7 years and currently went through a brief recovery period. I am 5'6" and am currently 110 pounds (up from the 95 pounds from my most recent relapse) and I am really trying to maintain my weight here because I do not want to gain anymore.

I am confused because I am getting bruises all over my body from sitting on the floor, leaning against walls, even lying in bed, etc. I have spotted 6 bruises on myself today that was not there yesterday.

This did not happen to me when I was 95 pounds and I even used to be in the 80 pound range a few years ago and this never happened then either.

So that is why I am confused. I am closer to a "healthy" weight now than I was then. So it looks as though I would be getting better physically, but all of this new stuff is happening and it really just makes me want to give up on getting "better".

Why am I bruising so badly?

Answers:
The only thing i can think of is maybe your skin is lacking the right amount of Vitamin A The vitamin that helps your skin. Try taking a multi vitamin or eating more of the following
-fish and liver, green and yellow fruits and vegetables, Apricots, asparagus, beets, broccoli, butter, cantaloupe, carrots, cheese, garlic, green olives, milk products, mustard (fresh), papaya, parsley, peaches, prunes, red peppers, sweet potatoes, spinach, sweet potatoes, pumpkin and watercress.- Those are all good sources of vitamin A. You answered my question so i felt i had to answer yours ^^ Thanks for your advise by the way.
