Does anyone have any advice on getting through a eating disorder, depression, and anxiety?
I don’t think I’ve ever been at this state. Instead of getting better I’m getting worse.

I've never dealt with an eating disorder, but I have anxiety and depression.
The first thing I can recommend is don't isolate yourself. Reach out to loved ones, don't lock them out. Locking then out makes depression worse.
Pat yourself on the back for your accomplishments, even the small ones like taking a shower when you don't feel you have the energy to even get up.
Try practicing mindfulness, it really helps with both anxiety and depression.
And do stuff you normally enjoy even if you don't feel like doing then or enjoy them as much as you usually do.

@Thunderlord03 no problem. I've been there.
If you need to talk to someone about it, feel free to chat to me. I know it's like. Some days existing feels like a chore and all I wanna do is sleep, but does get better.

@Thunderlord03 if you haven't spoken to a therapist yet, I do recommend talking to one. Especially one that does CBT and mindfulness.
