So depressed i cant stop eating

[LoneMisery]

My post last night on writing a detailed goodbye has made me so hungry. I think im so depressed its my bodys way of trying to boost itself by indulging in food. Food is one of my favorite things on earth. Can youre body and mind subconsciously try to make itself happy by triggering a thing such as hunger qhich will make me happy for a small period of time?

Yes, I became a takeaway addict for years. It is called comfort eating and it can be linked to depression. I still like food but I rarely buy takeaways and snack unhealthily anymore. I fill up those extra hours on here, listening to music, playing games and watching films and youtube. You know, the usual shit to escape boredom.

This definitely can happen. Due to depression I lost a lot of weight and I was down to 175, and I look thin at this weight. Then I started using food to lift my mood and I gained 50 lbs in a few months. So depression can really mess with your wieght/ food consumption either way.

I do not enjoy eating personally, it makes me feel worse. It is a chore having to eat. I do think it is common to eat a lot as a way to cope with suffering. I wish you the best.

Overeating is a good distraction, makes you sleepy too
