How do I know if I have anorexia

[measqu]

I think I might have anorexia and I'm not sure. Does anyone have any advice on how I can be sure if I have anorexia or not? I'm feeling very overwhelmed by this and I'm not sure what to do. I'm scared to talk to anyone about it and I don't really know where to turn. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
