There is something wrong with my eyes, I think it may be to do with my 'condition' (I'm anorexic. I weigh 6 stone/84 pounds and am 5'7"). I'm getting worried. My eyes are blood shot, I think it's called, and I have purple/pinkish coloured circles and bags around my eyes. Are they infected or something? Could this lead to something serious? What can I do to get rid of them? My skin is horrible and pale at the moment so they really show up, and it's not nice at all. I tried eyedrops and drinking water to detox, but that hasn't worked.

You are extremely underweight and in starvation. At that weight your kidney, liver, heart and other organs are likely close to failing or already failing. That could make your skin pale and bags under the eyes. You are likely also anemic and that will cause pale skin and dark circle under the eyes.
Go to emerg ASAP and get admitted for your anorexia; you may be in danger of dying without medical intervention.

You need to go see your doctor and get your eyes and skin checked out. The blood shot is not related to anorexia but the skin conditions are. If you are looking that bad it sounds like you are getting pretty close to dying or at least being to sick to function. No that last line was not a scare tactic but meant seriously. If you are looking that bad you must be super malnourished and the anorexia is starting to kill you literally. See your doc for your eyes and please consider asking for help with the anorexia before it is too late.

You really need to see an optician as they are the only ones to know if there's a problem. However, your anorexia isn't doing you any good so hopefully you will seek help for that too!

this is because you are most likely to be staving because you don't eat right, the only way to solve this is to eat. i know its not that simple but what is simple is that you need help fast.think about this, you may be slim but slim with a horrible complexetion and greasy hair? no. its not attactive and whoever told you it was is ill themselves. x
