I struggle daily with anxiety, bipolar ups and downs, even anger issues. Yet I still stay hydrated, I eat good healthy food for FUEL. Not for pleasure. I'm not even a fan of eating. I do well at school, I have yoga twice a week and I walk 13k-15k steps a day with my FitBit. And it's not just slow walking, I'll do power walking. I'll break a sweat.  Unfortunately for me, this bipolar depression isn't going away, ever. It's something I have to live with for the rest of my life I inherited it (thanks mom). But never, ever, ever will I let it get me fat. My mom has it worse than me and she's thin, 5'2 and 110 lbs. She has a FitBit too and competes with me. I'm also thin, I'm 5'1 and 100 lbs.  What angers me deeply are the hams that claim they have depression when they don't. They make us sufferers look like a joke. They'll never know what it's really like.
