Hey Claire,
Yes Depression can lead to an eating disorder. As you're skipping meals or not eating at all. It's not good when that happens. I know it's hard to overcome the depression an ED. it will take some time but things will get better. Not right away of course even though it would be nice. Not eating enough can cause physical problems too. I know you don't want to eat but your body needs nutrition to get through the day. If you want to talk I'm here and so are other listeners. We care about your well being. Your feelings are valid and know that you're not alone. I hope you feel better. Please take care of yourself and your mental health. Stay safe.

I also have depression, and I do not eat regularly.
@Clairebear233 I wanna add something about depression though: Either you end up eating less and less, or you begin eating your feelings - eating more and more - when you are depressed. That's my experience at least.
