I forgot to add that when I am swinging up and out of Depression I experience a period of poor appetite. It lasts about 6wks and I experience a drastic weight loss - like 2 dress sizes. But it doesn't last. After 4-6wks I resume my appetite but; unlike when I am depressed, it is regular, healthy, and controllable. But yes, when I am Depressed or Anxious I eat very badly, get flabby and pack on weight (I experience 'Atypical Depression' a symptom of which is gaining 10-15% of body weight during a bout with Depression).
