I have recently done a BMI check and found out I am nearly anorexic. I am just wondering if this is a good thing or what it is. Please provide any advice that may be necessary for this situation.

Anorexic is defines as suffering from or afflicted with anorexia nervosa. And anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by immoderate food restriction and irrational fear of gaining weight, as well as a distorted body self-perception. So, i think what you mean is anemic or other case because if i will depend on what you have said you are eating and not afraid of gaining weight
Anemia isn't really relevant here. While low iron it is common in underweight people, and should be monitored, it doesn't tackle the main issue. Provided you are eating a healthy balanced diet and getting a reasonable amount of exercise being a little underweight or overweight is not too much of a big deal. Being severely underweight, however, can cause significant problems such as osteoporosis, Immune system deficiencies, and infertility in women(though these problems often have alot to do with lack of nutrients in the diet of anorexic/bulimic people).
