So lately I've been a bit sad and I've just been staying home day after day, never really getting out much, you know? I've been lonely too. I've been eating a lot more than usual and my parents seem to notice it too. Then I started to notice I formed a stretch mark on my leg and I started freaking out because I never had anything like that before. So now I'm worrying that I'm eating too much. I think I might be eating just for my own comfort, but I don't know how to stop myself! I don't want to have to depend on food whenever I'm feeling lonely and sad. Should I see a therapist or something?

Hey there, it sounds like you’ve self-diagnosed pretty well. Depression often results in eating or sleeping too much. Idk if a therapist can help (they never helped me), but one thing that worked for me was to find a safe food to snack on that’s low cal. And no salt if possible (salt stimulates appetite). For example I’ve gotten in the habit of grabbing an apple whenever I’m depressed or triggered.
The only real cure for an eating disorder is to beat depression, and I haven’t had luck with that for years (therapists, prescriptions, you name it). But we can control the weight gain by training ourselves to grab healthier foods when we’re feeling down. Also: get rid of all the junk food in the house! If it’s a temptation, it’s as good as eaten :/
ReplyThat sounds like a plan that'll work for me. I hope we both can beat depression soon. Thank you for your advise and I really hope we both can become happier in our futures, there's some hope, right? Thank you and good luck :)
