    Hi m

    I don't know much about anorexia or what support there is, voluntary or otherwise.

    I reckon you're best bet is to talk with a doctor, do you have a GP that you feel you can talk to? If not then make an inquiry to the county clinic on James green.

    To be honest I have no idea where you'd start. I did a quick google for links to anorexia in Ireland and this is one site I found:
    http://www.bodywhys.ie/

    I still think discussing it one to one with your doctor is the best way to start.

    Best of luck with it, if this is your first step to dealing with it, then I hope the second step follows soon and next one etc....

    as above theres body whys, theres also a food specialist in St Dymphna's Carlow but your GP needs to refer you to them.

    also there is OA overeaters anonymous, that hold meetings which deal both with over eating and undereating.
    http://www.oa.org/meetings/find-a-meeting.php

    portlaoise or abbeyleix would probably be your nearest meetings, you can pm me if you like and I can possibly put you in contact with others that may be able to help.

    Good luck and well done on making this step

    I could be wrong here but maybe try www.grow.ie .I know its group therapy and deals a lot with depression but maybe worth a try as group therapy in my experience with people is a very good way to obtain some peace and its possible theres special meeting for people with annorexia .Best of luck with getting help ,something else thats popped into my head was reading on newspaper recently a girl was cure of annorexia in Medjugorje.

    Had few friends with eating disorders and traditional therapy(psychoteraphy etc.) was just a waste of time. Even if there was some improvment it didnt last more then few weeks and then they were back to what they had been doing. NLP coach and hypnotherapist helped. Worked much quicker too.
