Comfort eating

[Digydoda]

Does anyone's anxiety feel better when they are eating food?

[Agora1]

Are you kidding? I be sooo happy xx

[Sky-dancer]

It differs with me, sometimes I hardly eat and other times I eat too much, mostly sweet or very tasty things and yes, my mood gets better when I do... For a while at least..

Its food come onnnnnn how can you not feel better, i usually do the cha cha cha when im eating ice cream

[HearYou]

Yep! Eating can be an addiction when we attach it as a relief and pleasure from that darn anxiety or depression we put up with. If ice cream enters my house, it's dead. I can murder a gallon of a good vanilla in a very short time......particularly after a nightmare. BUT I make certain it is done in a very elegant aristocratic way. It is put in lead glass crystal tea glass and eaten with a silver ice tea spoon.

Uh - yeah. I’ve also dealt with some chronic pain and realized that food is an awesome distraction. People that tell you to try healthy snacking when you need a distraction are missing the point.

I wish, sorry I can barely eat. I'll go days just having an egg and cup of V8 juice trying to get some vitamins so I don't get weak. I've dropped Iike 40 pounds. Anxeity eating can be bad too. So atlest try to make it Healthy?
