A. Since your question deals with addiction, you should check out this site, it has lots of helpful info that might help with your question:

This site has a lot of great resources for people dealing with addiction or recovery, and those who know people who are dealing with it. It is worth a look in my opinion.

Ive developed depression and a binge eating disorder to cope with it what should i do?
Q. I gained TEN POUNDS! :( It sucks. I used to be thin. For a few weeks I wills be good and eating fine then bam I just can't do it anymore and it all goes down the drain.
A. It is imperative that you get outside professional help by a licensed mental health counselor due to binge eating disorder. You may be able to attend a 12-step self-help group such as Overeaters Anonymous or Eating Disorders Anonymous, but they are not in place of a licensed therapist.

How do you get help from an eating disorder without anyone knowing?
Q. I've been struggling with eating disorders for about three years, and only a couple of my friends know about it. Recently, it's been getting worse, and I know that I need help. But I really don't want my parents to know because it will break their hearts. Is there any way to get treated without my parents finding out?
A. I can relate to how you want to do it on your own.
I hope that you can.
Please know that your parents love you very much.
Please try and believe that they already are trying to figure out how to help you...they just don't know what it is.
*it only breaks a parents heart when we don't let them in and let them help us!*
***When I needed help with a problem, I called all my family members and friends and told them what was going on, and what my plan of action was, asked them not to judge, and to just support me.***
(of course they cried, but they were relieved that they could be supportive and helpful!)
Good luck, and you are never alone.
There are groups, individual counseling, and treatment centers.
*anytime you see a doctor it's confidential.* ;)
