Is eating very fast a sign of mental illness (which I think I have)?

[SadandAnxious]

For starters, and in a fit of rage, I took an enormous bite out of a cheeseburger🍔 (half of it) and only chewed three times before swallowing it. Then I crammed the rest of the burger into my mouth and only chewed four times before swallowing it. My anger😡 then turned into grieving😭 (from my life in general, not the pain). I wasn't even that hungry, just angry and sad at the same time.

You see, I'm a depressed and anxious person in general; I work hard nearly every day, no vacations, no friends, no women, poor relationship with my father (still do to this day), the whole pandemic, never any peace of mind, etc.

Anyway, I was aware of the choking hazard but I didn't care. 😢

You were, understandably, having a moment. I’m not sure fast eating is linked to any mental illness but as you said, it’s dangerous so try to slow down. Do you have health insurance? Can you speak with a therapist to get your thoughts and feelings sorted out?

I also suffer with anxiety and depression and I don’t eat at all when it’s bad. Never really crammed food in my mouth like that. Hope it gets better my friend.

I don't eat food as much if I am sad or really happy. The middle is when I eat food. But I hate food so that's probably why.

Maybe. But this is best addressed with a psychologist.

Stress of some kind, probably, but not mental illness.
