When you are depressed, do you eat alot ?

well i drink when i am depressed but not violent just something to lighten my mood. i eat when im bored but not when im depressed.

I definitely eat more. When I'm depressed, I usually go to fast foods, because I crave for salty and fatty foods. And I eat a lot of chips. That's why I really do try to always be happy and not feel sad, because once I'm there, I can't really stop eating, because I feel that I need to comfort myself from the sadness.

I seldom release my depression through heavy eating. But I will choose to take food that will make me happy. Therefore, I will take chocolate and coffee when I feel depressed. Besides, I will do exercise. Either way can make myself feel happy and forget about depression. Thanks for having such interesting discussion, and have a nice day!

It helps to eat something when you're upset, but no need to get fat on this issue. It's a short life after all.

i eat very less whenever i gets upset or disappointed.......because i have mood of eating something at that time...but one thing i do is i start to read books ...specially inspirational books.....it helps me a lot to get out of tension...gives me energy..and then i can eat anything with a happy mood......this is what i do whenever i gets upset happy mylotting

When i meet a hard problem,i will become depressed.When i depressed,i can eat little food.Until i resolved the peoblem,or i can not eat happily.But i heard of that some female people will eat a lot when they depressed.I usually go walking along the street when i depressed.

Whether I am in a bad mood, depressed or emotionally sensitive due to hormones, there are different stuffs that I want to do. Well, there are times that I want to eat alot or crave on foods. There are also times that I want to go out like I need fresh air or there are also times that I want to do a marathon watching a movie. Sometimes, I just want to be alone as if I wanted to write and write or be in the computer the whole day. I have several outlets when I am depressed. Sometimes I do want to cry and cry then after which, I would already be fine.

I do seem to eat quite a bit more when I am depressed about something. The more intense the depression, the more I will consume. Food is a comfort release. Sometimes we just can't help ourselves.

Food is a necessity for a living human to sustain his life. But sometimes, it serves us beyond its main purpose. When we're feeling gloomy, we find food to lighten up our mood. People say that when a person is in a state of depression, there's a huge possibility that he would gain weight. In situations like these, food does not only function as a source of nutrition but also a source of happiness. Foods that give the feeling of satisfaction and contentment are called Comfort Foods. Comfort foods are usually cooked in a place where you feel comfortable or relaxed. Places like home, school, or some local restaurant are where we usually eat our comfort foods. It removes the feeling of nostalgia and it gives delight not only to our starving stomachs but to our lonely hearts as well.Personally, I really enjoy the dishes that my mom cook for our family. Filipino dishes like Sinigang, Adobo and Bulalo are some of my favorites. Some restaurants might also have them but my mom's will always be the best. Well, at least for me. Now that I'm staying in Manila for my college education, I really do miss the food that my mom cooks for me and my family. College life would be much easier if I could eat my mom's specialties everyday. Just as the saying goes, there's no place like home. Another personal comfort food are French Fries. I prefer making my own fries from fresh potatoes than buying a processed one because it taste more natural. Plus, any food is more delicious if you were the one who prepared it. Actually, I love every potato dish out there but fries are my favorite because they are fast to prepare and easy to eat! My dad always reminds me that it can absorb a lot of oil and cholesterol but I just eat it anyways. I guess you really just don't care if you get fat because of your comfort food. As long as you're in bliss, you would never think of getting fat! Happy mylotting to you guys!

When I was depressed before, there was no difference with my appetite. My meal will just be delayed because I feel lazy going up, but if the food is in front of me, I just eat the normal amount of food as when I am not depressed. I don't crave for any food. I just want friends to talk to. So my appetite is not really affected because of depression. I don't eat a lot because I know that will just add up to my depression if I get fat. Probably I just know how to handle depression.

When depressed i usually eat less coz my mind is pre-occupied with tensions and all so i dont hav the urge to eat.I eat more when i am at home in good mood and no work to do

Eating a lot may hurt. There are friends who can comfort you. If none, why not pray. Read the Bible and trust God for His promises. He comforts the weary and gives hope to the hopeless. Its true.

when im depress i usually stay on my room for a while, cry a little and share my thoughts with my best friend whose always been there for me all along, its my way of getting the deppression away from me. hmm, when it comes to my meal, i eat at the regular bases with the same appetite that i usually have, its seldom that i crave for more or skip meals. well, i havent been depress for something that much, hope its not going to happen but incase ill be out finding awys to cope coz too much depression can cause much to our body and soul!
