I also struggle with both several forms of anxiety and an eating disorder, and there is certainly no denying that they are interlinked. How I react to my anxiety is a little different in terms of EDs, and it often relates to how I feel while eating. If I am around people, I generally feel absolutely awful when eating and it makes me incredibly anxious and panicky. This, however, happens to me when I'm eating quite often regardless of whether or not I'm around people, as I have a tendency to think too much about calories, calories, calories.

To sum it up, yes, I definitely feel like my anxiety issues are central to a lot of my ED issues.
