I've always been a teeny bit irregular, and sometimes skip a month. But this past month I got my period twice. And this month my period only lasted a day.
A day long period... not healthy, right?
Could it be that I'm not eating enough? (I am also Anemic)
Thanks

It is termed Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) and it is the most common cause of functional abnormal uterine bleeding, which is abnormal genital tract bleeding based in the uterus and found in the absence of demonstrable organic pathology. Diagnosis must be made by exclusion, since organic pathology must first be ruled out. It can be classified as ovulatory or anovulatory, depending on whether ovulation is occurring or not.
Ovulatory DUB happens with the involvement of ovulation, and may represent a possible endocrine dysfunction, resulting in menorrhagia or metrorrhagia. Mid-cycle bleeding may indicate a transient estrogen decline, while late-cycle bleeding may indicate progesterone deficiency.
Anovulatory cycle DUB happens without the involvement of ovulation. The etiology can be psychological stress, weight (obesity, anorexia, or a rapid change), exercise, endocrinopathy, neoplasm, drugs, or it may be otherwise idiopathic.
Assessment of anovulatory DUB should always start with a good medical history and physical examination. Laboratory assessment of hemoglobin, luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), prolactin, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), pregnancy, and androgen profile should also happen. More extensive testing might include an ultrasound and endometrial sampling.
So, please contact your gynocologist immediately and let hism treat you.

Being an anemic can cause your period to be irregular, or non-existent. Take care of your anemia, and hopefully your period will take care of itself.

You are a virgin, which tells me you are young. Stop worrying. Your period will not regulate until you are a full grown woman.
