Can you eat when you are stressed?

[Anonymous]

I was eating a donut once, and then I get a call from mom about something.

I couldn't eat it anymore.

I threw it away and kept thinking of solving the problem.

Then, my mom calls back to let me know it's solved.

That's when I wanted to eat the donut again.

But too late. I had already thrown it away in the trash.😱😩

Not at all and it's really starting to become a problem for me lately 😓 like I keep stressing myself over the stupidest things and I've lost way too much weight over the past 3 weeks and feel dizzy all the time it really sucks and I don't know how to get out of this it's like a doom loop..

I'm the same.

When I am mentally stressed, like from school or work, I want to eat more.

When I'm emotionally stressed, like if I've been crying a lot or had an anxiety attack or something, I won't eat at all. I'll be at risk of throwing up if I get upset too quickly d:

All the time:) depending on what I am stressed about... if its normal stress like from school n shit then I can eat normally... but if its like breakup stress or something else... I will most likely not be able to eat for weeks on end.

[Asker]

Are you happy with that?😊

[OrdinaryGentleman]

no! I wanna eat normally all the time!

[serious]

No, I can't eat when I am stressed

[mooky06]

I think when I'm extremely stressed I barely eat. Whether that will be with work or personal issues, I find it difficult to eat and all I want to do is curl up in a ball and sleep for ridiculous amounts of time

[Cmasterson]

Haha, not really I usually don't get stressed of if i do i just get really anxious and no I can't eat when I'm anxious! x

[CHARismatic110]

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I either am so stressed that I don't eat anything or I'm stressed to the point of where I'm eating my emotions.

I don't eat more or less, but I generally don't make optimal food choices under great stress.

[iamshelly]

Nope, nope, nope. I went a whole week without eating any solid food because of finals.

Stress levels don't really affect hunger with me. I don't think any external stimuli does. Only hormones do.

[pooper89]

well stress is a hormone technically so... different hormones than stress then

That doughnut deserved better...

I actually like eating when stressed. It helps me relax a little. Stressing on an empty stomach is just awful.

[lifes_curve_ball]

Depends what I'm stressed about. I wouldn't throw it out however just keep it to the side

[Prof_Don]

When I stress out, I don't have an appetite! But I would have saved that donut! :-P

I can absolutely not eat when stressed. Which is dangerous when I stress for a long time. Last year my job and personal life became so stressful I got down to 93.5 pounds.

[theguanaco]
