I think it's different for different people, some get more appetite and gain weight (they're depressed, so they go for the cookies... < my sis)
Some lose weight (when I was stressed I lost a lot of weight)
Sometimes I forget to eat if I'm too absorbed into something too (like the computer or a cool book etc.)
You can also google 'depression loss of appetite', quite some answers there too..
And you're not wasting our time
It's good to ask questions, that's how you learn things

Yeah in my case it does, it could also be the opposite for other people (increasing appetite).
By the way, I don't think you are wasting anyone's time.

Loss of appetite AND over eating are both possible symptoms of depression. Is this something you are experiencing?

Yeah it sure can and I know about this first hand.
Sometimes it can actually physically change the way I feel about eating. I just won't be hungry - or I'll try to eat and feel sick. Anxiety also makes me feel that way (probably much more than depression).
But sometimes it is not really my appetite that is affected it is the will to go and get food. A lot of the time when I'm depressed I just don't want to move - or wake to face the day and just end up not eating at all. And because I'm not using any energy because I'm so low I don't feel hungry for food.
This becomes a very vicious cycle so if you feel depressed try and avoid it at all costs and do your best to force yourself to wake up at normal times and eat at routine normal times!

Sorry to hear about it Liam...
Where have you heard that there's no cure for sa and that SA and depression are necessarily correlated? I've never heard of this before..
Some people can just have sa or just depression, as far as I know, and both can be cured, or at least greatly improved...
Are you just missing Katie or having a big hangover? maybe next time don't drink so much? (it can mess up your system and decrease good vitamins/minerals..) Hope things get better...

I've had this happen to me. No appetite but I over ate anyway. Junk food like McDonald's burgers, ice cream, hot wings, stuff like that. It made me feel better while eating that's why I did it.
If this forum is any indicator then SA and depression go hand in hand very often. You'd be hard pressed to find many here who are not suffering both to some degree.
