I highly doubt any of you remember, but back when I first joined I cut, alot. I haven't been cutting, but I have realized that I'm self harming myself in a different way. Not eating. I'll be hungry, but I won't feel like eating. Now, I do eat. But not normally. I'll eat at least like what, 4 times a week? And when I do eat it's never healthy. It's either pizza or twinkies and shit like that. It's causing me to be tired, ALOT. Making sleeping hard and I'm breaking out badly because of it. Everything has been going downhill lately, I dunno what I should do.

I'm assuming from the way you talk this isn't do with your weight or body image etc? So it isn't an eating disorder type obsession you have with food?
If not, not eating is a symptom of depression, and lots of people eat less when they are upset. I remember times when I haven't eaten for two days just because I was upset about something; I think it's pretty normal. Although that doesn't mean it can't become a problem, especially if as you say it's causing you all these problems. My suggestion would be to make sure you eat. Make sure you are eating three meals a day. Conciously make yourself do it.
I don't know if that helps much, sorry.

Yeah, it's not about body image. I'm fairly slim. I've been depressed for about 2 months and I just never feel like eating. I guess I should just "force" myself to eat?

It's probably a good idea. Not eating isn't good for your body at all. my immune system is terrible from months of not eating properly, but it can also cause many other problems.
