Having known two people (my sister's best friend and my own) with anorexia, I would have to tell you that Willow's right. You must see your family doctor right away. It is an emergency, so please tell the receptionist that when you call. Did you get treatment last time you had a struggle with anorexia? If so, you should call the same one who treated you then.
My sister's friend was near death. Her underwear fell around her ankles. She spent a long, long time in the hospital, and she recovered. But some damage is irreversible. Don't wait until it gets to that point.
Your friends love you and know that you can't help what you are doing. It is obvious, since you said they are afraid for you. Please tell them that you are afraid, too, and that you are calling for help.
Please keep us posted, and I hope you will be on your road to recovery today.
