Hi young man! There is nothing majorly wrong with you.You are basically overeating to overcome depression.Try to go out and mingle with people and make new friends.Indulge yourself in outdoor sports so that you end up making new friends.Try to exercise,meditate,read self-help and other books.I am sure you will overcome your problem if you follow this advise.But even after this you don't find any change in your problem than speak with your family and get a professional help by consulting a psychologist or a counsellor. I am sure you will be positive and overcome this transient problem.I hope this information is useful to you.I wish you all the best and a great future ahead.
