Hi All

I have been suffering from Anxiety & Stress for a couple of years I am on antidepressants at the moment.

I have tried Adult Coloring Books, Mobile Apps and listening to Music I enjoy but none of these seem to be working for me.

My question for today is how can I stop eating junk food when I am depressed?

All I know is its quite amazing how stress and depression can have different effects on people different. I to am depressed stressed and trying to deal with anxiety however I am the opposite. I ha e no appetite. I have to force myslef to eat. I have loss so much weight til I have also convinced myslef I have something else really bad. And evertime I look at myself I get even more depressed. My how I almost wish I can have your problem instead of mine. No offense or trying to be rude. Just only saying I my appetite is shot and I never had an issue with eating. Now I have to force myslef. 😢 I wish us the best through this as we both have the same struggle just different effects. So my advice would be force yourself away from eating. If your buying food don't buy as much if your cooking it don't cook as much. Switch to fruits or salads instead to replace what you would normally eat. But best wishes.
