who agrees depression is one of the main causes of bed

[bagelbeautyxO]

That makes sense. I guess that could be said for all eating disorders...I'm interested to see what everyone else's response will be!

[Tiff]

That's an obvious statement. Depression is the basis of many things.

i think that also makes a lot of sense. i've had disordered eating for many years, but i know for a fact that i feel happy when i restrict, and a lot sadder when i binge.

This is a classic causation vrs. correlation argument. It is clear that there is a correlation between all eating disorders and depression but it is difficult to prove which comes first. Personally I have found that depression is a symptom of my eating disorder and not the other way around.

For me stress was the cause, plus I have a tendency to be obsessive and I guess most of the time I think about food and that leads me to binge, plus loneliness. Any sadness/depression tends to come from the guilt of binging....

Exactly. Throw some social anxiety in there and you get the ultimate shity-binge cycle.
