I'm currently recovering from an eating disorder and I realized that I still haven't gotten my period in over 5 months. I was wondering what will happen once it returns... Will I have a major period or something? Is it going to be any more bloody than a normal period?

It's a bit unlikely that there will be a lot of blood. Your body hasn't had the energy available to menstruate, so it hasn't been wasting it limited resources on your period (it's been focusing on keeping more vital organs operational).
What will probably happen is that you will have a few light, irregular periods, as your body slowly recovers and begins to invest energy in your menstrual cycle again.
However, I’m no doctor, that is just my guess based on my own body when I’ve screwed with its cycle. This is probably a question best asked to a nurse or doctor. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
