Moods & stress are a huge part of EDs.....when I was major depressed & suidical was when the anorexia took over initially at the age of 42....I was always conscious of my weight but controlled it by playing racquettball every day at lunch & some major tournaments with the guys......kept the weight completely under control while I was in my engineering career.....but when that was gone & my bad marriage of so many years was hitting me on top of that (career was my marriage escape)......stress always caused me to stop eating & loose weight........when the migraines took over & exercise wasn't something I could do & I managed to get through the suicide attempts.......then I started to gain.....& did the swing the other way.....then a trauma hit & I lost almost as much as I had gained & was back in the hospital with IV nutrition.....& since then I have been very careful about maintaining my weight at a healthy place because I did finally leave my H & am living completely on my own....so I can't afford to have a real low weight & pass out all the time like before.

It's gotta be normal to swing & to have various times when the anorexia is worse & then less besides the major swings to overeating & overweight problems........we are made up of so many emotions & aspects of ourselves....it's normal to have many different periods we go through.

Glad you are working on getting it under control however because it's much healther to eat well....no point in destroying one's life which all too easily can happen.
