The only problem I have with it would be that if you required medical treatment for anything as a direct result of the diet then I'd say you should have to fund it yourself...(I live in the UK and a good deal of my wager are paid for national insurance which pays for our 'free' healthcare. So it pisses me off when people get free medical treatment, though techincally I and everyone else in the country is paying for it, as a direct result of something they do to themselves.....like fat people as a result of poor diet or smokers with breathing problems/cancer, etc. Why should I be partly paying for their treatment when they did it to themselves? So yeah if you live in the US and pay for your own medical bills work away, if you live in the UK where everyone foots your medical bill well then that's just selfish!)
Just a small point, but a smoker who smokes 20+ cigarettes a day actually pays more into the NHS and government as a whole than a non-smoker, and more than pays for their own treatment. This is in part due to the massively high taxes on tobacco products, but also the fact that smokers die earlier and so do not have any of the incredibly expensive-to-cope-with deteriorations and illnesses that are inherent with old age (and for other government revenues, they'll be paying into a pension their entire lives and will never claim on it).
So actually, they're paying for your treatment
and their own.
Fat people on the other hand are not (though again with the less chance of reaching old age stuff), due to the lack of "fat taxes" on foods. These taxes shouldn't be brought in, however, because it would mean that a lot of essential foodstuffs would be too expensive for the less well-off to afford (such as dairy products, which are inherently high in fat).

As for the main topic at hand, OP, you're killing yourself.
A nigh all-protein diet is incredibly bad for you on just about all levels. On the aesthetic level, you will have awful skin and have absolutely dire breath and body odour from your body lacking in essential nutrients and inability to process
that much protein. You are at very high risk of kidney failure and liver damage due to the quantity of protein you ingest.
The amount of fat in meat is going to cause you all sorts of problems too. You say you are underweight and (I gather) relatively skinny - this is not an indicator that you are healthy though! You are likely to be packing on fat around your internal organs, which is even worse for you than having an almighty pot-belly. You will also be building up fatty deposits in your blood vessels which is going to leave you will all sorts of fun complications (from high blood pressure to heart attacks and strokes).
The vitamin deficiencies are also not exactly helping. You will likely have poor skin condition, weakened nails, you will lose your hair, you can go blind. You can get all sorts of complications such as scurvy, rickets, osteoporosis, arthritis and such delightful things.
Man the fuck up and start eating fruit and vegetables. I know you said that you have had some difficulties thanks to eating disorders as a child -
mention this to your dietician and/or doctor. You will quite probably need to see a psychiatrist to help you get over the issues surrounding your eating habits, and in the mean time the other medical professionals can attempt to help mitigate the damage (rather than them thinking you are a stubborn idiot).
Believe me, I am not the healthiest human out there - I'm overweight and struggling to shift it. But I know enough from my own attempts to lose weight, and my own horrendous eating disorder from when I was younger (I physically couldn't stand to eat - a child's portion at a restaurant was far too much for me to manage, resulting in copious problems). Your diet is sending you to a very early grave, and it is possible that you have already done some serious damage to yourself after so many years on this diet, but you do really need to try to change it. Make use of the professional help out there (and make sure you see that dietician)!
