ED Recovery (alone & confused?!)

I am trying to recover myself, in short, I am confused.
I struggled with restricting/anorexia for about... 3 years? More or less.

I went from 90 some to now 144 lbs.
I am 18, female, 5´4 tall.

I had my labs tested and they seemed pretty normal, maybe on the low side, but my doc was not too helpful bc she said they looked fine. She had no idea what to do..

So, I have light pink stuff, weight gained, still no actual bleeding. I eat about 2000 on vegan diet, I can eat 2500 but it feels unnecessary when I do, since I quit all working out and only do light yoga.

I don´t know what stage of recovery I am in. It´s also weird because I have no team to direct me, and my body started gaining weight all on it´s own, even before I upped my cals. So does my calorie intake still matter, or can I just eat intuitively now?
