    An eating disorder is when you make a CONSCIOUS decision to skip meals/not eat. In your case it seems like you just don't have an appetite possibly because of your depression.

    Don't think you have an eating disorder, because once you think 'oh I have an eating disorder', you will trick your mind and body into developing one...

    My advice is to just eat healthy and whenever you can. Try to eat breakfast, even a small meal. Maybe some toast with pb and milk. Or even yogurt. Anything light. For lunch, I recommend you eat a Clif bar. They're SUUPER filling and yummy. It's just like a granola bar but bigger and fills you up more.

    Try to eat that stuff, and then slowly add more filling meals to your diet. And ACTUAL meals. You can't always eat a granola bar for lunch, ya know?

    But I'm not a doctor. This is just personal advice cause I've gone through the same thing. Even if you try to eat more but can't, I would recommend you see a doctor as soon as possible so nothing worse comes from this.

    Good luck <3

    Your change in eating is related to your depression.

    Try to eat three meals a day. Keeping your body going physically will help you feel better.

    Make a plan to take care of yourself by eating, then implement it. You can take good care of yourself as your first step forward.

    No, 14% of people do no longer consume breakfast, a great number of people do exactly in comparison to the way it tastes. frequently you consume 0.5 a lunch. that's in all probability nonetheless extra advantageous than those secretaries that consume an apple and a yogurt.
