Silly question about increasing intake quickly.

am i screwing things up?
i've been doing 15~20 minutes of chest/arm work outs and at least an hour of walking every day for the past couple weeks. yesterday and today, i've been exhausted, sore, and overall sick-feeling, so my activity has been cut down significantly, and replaced with resting. i was 110 pounds on wednesday, but i'm looking pretty…

looking for motivation, support, and advice.
hey, all. i'm a 26 year old transman trying to gain weight after 10 years struggling with anorexia. i've been in and out of hospital and treatment programs, gaining weight on ridiculously high meal plans, only to lose it all when i come home and restrict again. i was recently asked to leave a program due to not being ready…
