Eating issues while depressed?

Question

I'll start by saying that I do not have body image issues - I feel comfortable with my body and my weight. Under normal circumstances, I eat well and regularly.

When I get depressed, I feel guilty for eating so I'll go 24/32 hours without eating. I can feel that I'm hungry even though my appetite is obviously lowered and I know that I should eat but I just don't. I feel immense guilt for eating. Why is this? Am I the only one?

Answer

No you're not it happens to me all the time especially being depressed or stressed out

Answer

You're not the only one. And you said it yourself, you're hungry.. but make yourself stay hungry bc you feel guilty eating. It sounds like you're desperate to control that, to punish yourself almost.

Talk therapy helps move memory blocks and I feel like you have a few to move!
