Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Anorexia itself will not cause quit from family members. I think she may also have some other problems like Major depressive disorder or else.
Please consult your psychiatrist so that he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
