Warning Signs Warning signs for depression are sleeping a lot and a loss of interest in normal activities. Warning signs for an eating disorder are a little more difficult to notice. Losing weight is a big one, going to the bathroom after eating, and being anxious around food. One time after I ate a brownie I asked my mom if I was going to get fat. I also asked my mom if I was like my sister who has depression. This was my way of trying to tell my parents that something was wrong.
