Racer, First of all, I am so happy that you are recovering.
But you are right--when we come out of our deep depression, we have to face the mess that piled up while we were in there. And that is so stressful.
If you have a history of anorexia, perhaps you should find a really good nutritionist whom you feel really comfortable with and who will not just tell you what to do, but will help you figure out how to manage your eating and weight in a way that is sensitive to how you are feeling, and gradually, too. And focus less on how much weight you need to put on but how to take good care of yourself.
Another thought I have, one that is typical of me, is whether you've been worked up for any endocrine problems.
Either way, if your hair is falling out, something is not right.
But also, be patient with yourself. Even though you are feeling much better than you were, you just came out of an extremely severe depressive episode.
