I’m currently a recovering anorexic and ever since I’ve started recovery I’ve had so much face bloating that hasn’t ceased, is this an actual thing or am is it just heavy dismorphia?

Yes, recovering from anorexia can cause water retention, especially in the face)
your body is adjusting hormones, metabolism, and electrolytes all get messed up for a bit.
