Hi I have issues with depression and my hardest time is right after dinner. Nothing seems to keep my interest long enough and with my mind going crazy. I go to the kitchen to eat everything that is not nailed down. Food is my comfort and I need to stop doing that as I am on the verge of being overweight. I tried journaling but that didn't work. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Are you taking any medication, getting counseling, exercise
I’m mindful of what I’m listening to.
I think a lot of us have multiple tools we use, such as journaling, guided meditation, prayer, mindful eating. I do activities that help me love myself more which includes showering, reading a good book, playing soothing music...
I hope you can find healthy ways to comfort yourself. You know you’re overeating so it sounds like you need to engage in more activities to stay busy. I always feel a lift in my mood by getting outdoors
I wish you the best💐
Do you like puzzles? Get a 1000 piece puzzle or at least 500. That will keep your mind busy and your hands busy too. I don't eat all day and lately, haven't had an appetite, but despite that, I'm a night eater and like you, hate eating late. But once I start, it takes a lot to get me to stop. I'm not overweight as I weigh 118-123 pounds. That is where I fluxuate between. But I also have a lot of intestinal issues so eating late is not good. Try a puzzle or something that will keep your mind and your hands busy. See if that helps.
