"No I am not hungry"

It is obviously a case of our emotions gaining control over our body functions.THe brain instead of signalling for food concentrates more on our feelings and emotions take over intellect.Similarly, when you are concerned excessively ,afraid or far too busy you do not even realise the taste of what you eat unless it is totally unpalatable and chokes you.

I'm not sure why people lose their appetite when they are upset. I am one of those people who will lose their appetite once someone makes me upset. I don't know, even though I know I'm hungry and I know I hadn't eaten anything, I do tend to lose my appetite.

Personally, if I'm deeply distressed and/or depressed, I'll tend to neglect myself, and that can include eating. I might put off eating, and drink a lot of tea or coffee, or just sit in front of the computer, or spend hours on the phone to a close friend pouring my problems out. For me, the normal routines and comforts of life can go out the window: so I just can't sit down and relax and eat. Finally I might eat something, but not usually in a relaxed way, just in order to satisfy hunger. And then try and sleep: but it's often hard for me to sleep if I'm upset. If I'm feeling low without great distress I might eat and then try and grab a nap, but none of it will be done with any great enthusiasm. I need to be pretty content and at peace to enjoy eating.

I am obe of those people who really doesn't have the appetite to eat when there are a,lot of things going through my head. I feel like I need to finish some tadk before I indulge myself with anything. Same goes when I am depressed. Well, it may somehow look like my way of malibg me feel tough. I would rather just watch tv and immerse myself with all the tv shows that I can watch. I can feel the hunger, but I do not have the will to eat.

I would get like this sometimes but not as often any more. I used to be really bad about it when I was young, a little kid. I think I was so bad about eating because all of the stress around me disturbed me and still does at times. For me this happens when my mind is overwhelmed or consumed with stressful thoughts.

I experience one time I get so depress that I even don't want to touch any food in our table. But I cant help it.. I usually eat when I get sad or depress. Maybe it varies from person to person if they want or not to eat. Our mind controls every act that we do. Its only mind over body. Try to eat. Do not get yourself hungry or else you may have an peptic ulcer.

I think that being depressed or upset about something would curve me away from eating but not for long....I am one of those that bounces back to food very easily.

Hi allknowing My situation is a bit different. when I am sad, I feel more hungry and like you I have never been able to identify why all this happens! I think, when we are sad and depressed, the brain sends out wrong signals to the tummy and taste buds...

That is quite weird, we can't eat if we are angry/upset or we are in love.. 2 very opposite feelings, but the same reaction. Our tummy is quite weird, maybe anything too much of any feeling will make us lose our appetite.. I cannot eat when i am feeling anxious though or angry..

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED TO OUR BRAIN IF WE THINK OF something like anger or.extreme happiness we tend to forget.other things

Hi for me when I get depress I eat more, even when I"m happy I eat. and I eat at differnt time of the day. that because of work.but every one difeert when they get depress some eat, some draw, OK have a great day.

I find i turned out easily to eat food when i'm upset.Just because i wanna pour out all the unhappiness but not cuz i'm really hungry.But anyway,different people got thousands of ways.Let the sadness go and feel comfortable.

If I feeling blue and too down to face the bad circumstances. I can't eat that much, I don't have the drive to eat any meals. For some, they eat so vigorously. They put all the sentiments by eating beyond the normal limit of meals.

I am the one you are talking about.I will absolutely loss my appetite when I am angry.I really want to figure out why.
