do you also eat a lot when you are depressed? i am supposed to be on a diet but since i am depressed, i am eating a lot. i have been popping food inside my mouth like there is no tomorrow. i really hate when i am judged and condemned although i am not doing anything. and despite my repeated explanation, does not listen to me but rather insists that i did wrong. grrrrr! anyway, i am eating milk candy and i am soon going to eat crackers made of pork fat, arggggh!!! bad for my diet but good for my mind. gee. how about you? what do you do when you are angry and depressed? take care all!

No, I cannot think when I have a lot of problems. I get very thin and a lot of white hairs come out. My children get angry at me but what can I do, it is depressing with a lot of problems. Most of them comes from money. My daughter lost a lot of money and I am helping her pay.

I tend to comfort eat a lot. Its a right pain because I diet/exercise to lose weight and then put it back on again. Im not even surwe why I do it. Think its a lack of self esteem of something. It is common to seek pleasure in food when you feel down about something.

Hi,Situation is quite different in my case, i don't like eating anything when i'm depressed or angry, when someone tell me something(specially my parents) i used to go to sleep without eating anything, i don't know why but i don't like eating when i'm depressed even if i'm hungry, ya but when i'm happy i used to eat a lot , in fact whatever i like no matter it will affect my health.

No, I can't because when I depressed I can't eat because all the time I think about my problem I don't feel hungry

No, i'm unable to eat when i'm depressed from any reason. I think no one used to eat more when he feel uncomfortable or depressed...

Well i am totally different in it. I don't eat too much when i am depressed. In spite of that i use to eat less. I have similar habit when I am angry. But if I am angry and someone give some edible items that to of my type, I feel a bit relaxed. These things differs from person to person.
