    Depression and anxiety are not a weakness, they are an illness. As such, they have symptoms, and one of them is irregular eating habits. If you do not mention the symptoms, then they cannot diagnose you properly and cure you. I know this seems like a really robotic approach, but its true. You're not attention seeking, you are ill, so tell your councillor about your eating habits/problems. It's part of their job to keep everything you say between only them and yourself, so you shouldn't be afraid of telling them stuff.

    They are being paid to help you, not judge you :P
