Hello thanks for asking from HCM
GAD (Generalised anxiety disorder), Anorexia and bulimia disorders are from anxiety spectrum disorders. Repeated anxiety due to these disorders result in depressive symptoms. You also have bipolar tendencies. As per my opinion you should discuss these problems with your parents apart from friends. Take help of a psychiatrist to come out of these symptoms.
Commonly used drugs like Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine etc help to reduce anxiety and also helps in depression and anorexia. These medicines will reduce the symptoms of depression and will help you in normal functioning. Relaxation exercises, yoga, meditation also helps to reduce the symptoms.
Thanks, visit a psychiatrist for prescription.
