Hello everyone,

When I am depressed, I often binge eat. I don't know why but I can't stop eating all the snacks in my kitchen. It usually ends up being packaged and processed snack foods. I use the excuse that I am depressed and that is does momentarily make me feel better. But after the binge, I regret it.

I have heard there are other people that when depressed don't have an appetite. I wish I could be one of them...

Hi @Raindrops! How are you feeling today?

Thank you for starting this discussion. I think it is a very interesting topic to talk about. Binge eating can be a symptom of depression and is hard to control. I will tag some members who might want to talk about their stories, so we all can discuss later :)

Hello everyone! How is your day going?

How has your situation with depression been lately? Does it have effects on your appetite? Have you ever experienced a loss of appetite or binge eating episodes? How do you cope with it? How does it make you feel?

Take care,

Polina from the Carenity team

I take each day as it comes, try to have a focus for that day. Today is pretty good, but it gives me a nudge every now and again. H

Lizzie when we loss loved ones some people are expecting to grieve in the same way with each bereavement, and are even more upset because they dont. this can be for many reasons, for example it could be the age of the loved one, how close you were to a certain person, how well they physically or emotionally knew a loved one. or lastly some of us may never have met a loved one for many reasons. or if physical events had taken place ,and a loved one could not be viewed by family and friends

this happened me was because, my son and i parted with bad blood between us, and when his baby daughter was born , and died age 50 minutes i was banned from attending her service or internment, her name was Rebecca Jade, but i called her Becky, and i bought her a small headstone and i go to her grave at least once a month with fresh flowers. i will always love my grandaughter, but possibly not as much as my Angel wife or son, who took his own life.?
