Does anyone know how long does it take for a person to develop anorexia?

This question isn't really answerable. Many factors play a role in having anorexia.
Anorexia was how I coped with conditional love from my mom and the fact she was superficial- her love was conditional, as in, I had to meet her standards to be met with any sort of "kindesss" praise and approval, she use to tell me that a weight that my doctor would say was healthy was too heavy, and her opinion matter to me, and clearly my mom viewed my looks as more important than my health. My mom didn't ever tell me she was proud of me, and it was ongoing rejection from her when I wanted any kind of affection for her. So, I starved myself. When wcer I saw the "too heavy" weight on the scale I'd get anxiedy. So I strived to be 10–15 pounds underweight.
My father sexually abused me at age 5. It taught me to view myself at a very young age as an object who had no autonomy and to internalize this idea that I was a sexual object. I starved myself when I went through puberty as a coping mechanism, to avoid further abuse. I hated my body. I felt disgusting and didn't want to be noticed.
I starved myself to feel some sort of control due to living in an envirment to where I felt no control. Because in fact I didn't have much control.
These are some of the factors factors that play a role in anorexia, though every situation is unique. Anorexia is more than just food and more than just being thin. And I can tell you it's it worth it. When you starve yourself, you deal with insomnia, (your brain needs calories to sleep,) poor memory, inability to concentrate, brittle dry hair, flakey dry skin, painful constiapation, (your body compacts the very little that you eat so you go less and when you do go it's a lot and it hurts, I needed softeners just to go,) you get chills, (that one is obvious,) and you'll start falling behind in school….
Just don't do it. It's not a a trend or a weightless diet it's a disease.
