Take up a hobby like knitting/crocheting/latch hook/puzzles/coloring to keep your hands busy.

I've experienced appetite swings and have binge eating disorder. When I'm depressed and have no appetite I make myself eat at meal times. When I'm hungry all the time I ask myself what's going on that I want to stuff with food.

Being depressed definitely makes me want eat. Because I think it fills an emotional void inside me. Sometimes the void is so big that I cant get enough. It like this gnawing feeling inside my gut that's going to eat through me if I don't feed it.

On the other hand, when I'm anxious, it's the opposite. I feel stressed and nauseous and the thought of eating makes me sick. Never physically sick. But emotionally and mentally.

But, I've been thinking about this. I think I stared self-medicating with food long before I started with the drugs. Only makes sense. What 7 or or 8yr old knows that much about drugs? But, they know what a candy bar is and how it makes you feel.

I manage it by trying to stay on a fixed diet. I'm currently on the Mediterranean diet. And I find it works for me. It won't work for everyone. You have to find what works for you. Something you're comfortable enough to deal with.

I have this issue, I am not hungry or no energy to make anything to eat and the next minute I am hungry and eat junk and when I eat it, it doesn’t taste as good as I thought it was going to.
I am trying to cook on the weekends when my husband is home and making extra so I have something nutritional to warm up and eat through the week. One it is good food for me and it is ready, so I don’t have to cook as often don’t have the energy.
It also is there ready to avoid the junk. It is a roller coaster, not wanting to eat, or eating stuff I shouldn’t or too much.
I am trying to do my best by precooking good meals!

I dont know, I need help with this too...... I went from 260, to 175, now back to 208, some days i can't eat at all, other days im eating everything in sight and can't control the hunger
