Bee,
I think that's a good way to go until it's not a good way to go anymore. By that I mean, I did that too when my depression was so severe that I was non-functional. I just focused on that. Let my eating go to pot and didn't worry about it at all. My ED got worse in fact, but it was better than me doing something really stupid.
When I worked through the depression issues and got on new medication and was finally more stable, my therapist said it was time to work on ED. I disagreed, because I thought that once my depression was better, ED would automatically go away. I argued my case, but I was wrong. I was stuck in a bad habit and needed to make recovery from ED as big a priority as I had made recovery from depression.
I'm happy and proud to say that it's been over a year since I've been largely ED-free. I lapsed in December for 2 weeks, but picked up stronger than before.
So, IMO, focus on what you need to focus on when you need to focus on it.
Good luck on all forms of recovery - whatever you need to do and in whatever order you need to do it.
PC is a great resource and I'm glad you've joined us.
