Are a lot of bulimic people depressed & that's why the use food as comfort?

Question

Answer

That's how it started for me, I probably could have avoided getting bulimia, but no one believed that I was drepressed and wouldn't take me to the doctor or a therapist. I still haven't been diagnosed with bulimia, but I tend to throw up my meals.. some where between 1 and 5 times a week. The rest of the time I just make my meals very small.

Answer

I think people with an eating disorder are overall in some way depressed. It is al about control. And when they lose it they try to cope with it by not eating, bingeing or puking. Food is not something that gives them comfort, it makes them troubeling even more.  People with bulimia are trying to lose weight or they have an unstable/unbalanced diet with a lot of binges.  Bulimics puke after a binge or when they think that they ate too much. Sometimes food gives them comfort especially in the middle of a binge ( they can let everything go at that moment) but the aftermath is rather discomforting.

Answer

Okay. It's not a depression thing. 
It's more a control thing. 
You can't control what your mind tells you to control so it makes you control your eating.
