Depression

Post Reply New Topic

I been little depressed, I hate eating when I’m depressed. Do people here eat when they depressed or stress?

I don't understand depression but the only thing that causes me to lose appetite is when anxiety becomes severe enough to be physical. Anxiety attacks cause me to not eat for days.

I eat my way out of sadness and just plain nervousness though.

I'm kinda the opposite, I tend to comfort eat a lot when I'm more depressed. Though predominantly just snacks, since I don't have the energy to prepare proper meals.

I usually over eat when depressed. I usually don't eat at all if I feel like punishing myself.

Totally the opposite.
When i was young itd be an entire Pepperidge Garms German Chocolate cake.

Then for awhile itd be a can of cake frosting or Nutella and a spoon.

Now I usually bake, but our oven died a few months ago so it's been Pop Tarts. (They were on sale)

Sorry to hear, kitty. I tend to be the opposite in that I can’t eat when feeling low. I can go days without eating. Hugs (I’m struggling to write back at the moment, but am keeping you in my thoughts and hoping you’re alright).

No I can’t seem to eat much when I’m going through a period of anxiety or depression. I have to be in good mental health to eat right.

Sorry you’re feeling depressed. I hope things turn around for you soon. Good luck and please give yourself some TLC.
