Not sure, and I see various definitions of it.
You ever wake up, and wondered why you bothered?
Sure. Would assume everyone does.

you mentioned that you have food addiction. is that some kind of coping mechanism? if so, you probably have or have had depression or anxiety in some form or another. again theoretically. :P

so you see it as just because you enjoy the taste of food or the act of eating too much? that could be, i guess.

I didn't take it as such. I actually chalk it up to a lack of willpower on my part, but it could be something else I am not aware of.

Really? You woke up one day, and didn't want to pick up your big kick shitter boot-straps, and say I'll take over the world? You were saying fuck it all....

it doesn't come along with any kind of change in your mood or anxiousness or anything? it could very well just be lack of control based around just enjoying the act or taste.

I have always felt like it is better to take action to change versus analyzing why. In the end, the reason is far less important than the correction.

if you can find a solution without knowing why you are drawn to do it, absolutely do that.

Sounds silly, but it is basically deciding what is more important to me? To be in better shape and feel better, or enjoy that moment.

And I equate that to be exactly like drugs. You can decide to do drugs, or you can decide to make better long term decisions for your life.

if you find that you can cope without abusing food or whatever substance, that's obviously the ideal.

Those are very broad questions. Guess everyone really is depressed.

101 today, oye. Feels worse while sick, but I needed to go to the bank so I couldn't avoid it. Willpower!

The only thing willpower can help with depression is just working with it to move along, or as I said earlier, being productive. Acknowledge you have it, but don't chain yourself to the bed because of it.
