Hi,
I am so sorry to hear about your difficulties gaining weight. I am confident that if you eat enough calories and consistently so over a time period, you would be able to gain weight and maintain it. Make it a conscious decision to always at irrespective of what is going on. Have you been able to see a doctor to help you with this depression? This would be very helpful.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
