Hey girls, going to be a little vulnerable here.

When you’re depressed, do you ever overeat or choose foods that are particularly unhealthy? Normally I only hear of people’s appetites diminishing, and I feel really ashamed, almost like I should be at the other extreme and starving myself. I’ve tried throwing up, and I know thats concerning, but it doesn’t work. I’m very self conscious about my weight right now and how I look and feel.

I’m aware of what I’m eating and how much, and I hate myself for it and want to stop, but then I get even more depressed and somehow I just eat again. I try to get the energy and motivation to workout, but somehow I always shove it to the side.

And every time I look into the mirror and see myself, or try on a pair of jeans that used to fit better, I just feel so much worse.

Has anyone else experienced this that can offer some help?
