Eating disorders cause starvation which puts our bodies into a highly stressed survival mode. They are extremely taxing on your health and cause a number of secondary issues. The least of which is the complete shutdown of everything even close to a sex drive. There are no resources or energy to spare for child bearing when your body is struggling just to stay alive. Please seek immediate medical attention. She(you?) is in a very dangerous state of malnutrition.
