I've been helping some people get their stuff moved for a few days now. I've been making horrible food choices the whole time, like pizza three days in a row. My stomach is letting me know how bad this is. I went to the grocery a bit tonight and last night and bought cocoa powder (not mix but plain cocoa from baking aisle for putting into coffee), six dark chocolate bars, two bags of fruit, bag of chips, six pack of v8 juice, 1% milk for cereal (I usually just eat it dry and don't like milk overall but it's tasting much much better to me), brownies, crunchy granola bars, a single serve soda, a different single serve soda, 18 energy shots (these aren't the normal kind, they contain yerba which gives a mild mood boost).
Anyway, I'm usually VERY healthy about choices I make. What's going on with me? It's past one AM now. I haven't had caffeine in 9 hours.
I don't feel good at all.

I've been making terrible food choices lately too. I think it is a sign that my depression is worsening. Since you are helping people move their stuff, do you think this could be triggered by stress?

Hadn't considered the stress aspect. It's crazy stressful doing this. Not only do I get my own stress, I feel theirs! Hmm. I'm NOT helping today, Monday, and wasn't already but taking care of me at the gym if I can relax enough to sleep. Going to take another shower and try to calm down

Maybe I'll get into the aspect of her betrayal later on. Maybe not

I think this is actually pretty normal. You're hurt/disappointed by what happened and this is how you are coping. It's okay to take a moment out of life and be sad/angry/what ever. It will pass.

Hey you, hope you got some sleep and feel better today. Keep in mind that eating bad can be caused by stress. Then there is th vicious circle the eating bad stresses our system. Feel bad > eat bad = eat bad > feel bad.

I haven't eaten yet today and walked past all the restaurants without wanting to eat. Walked through the small grocery store twice with nothing in mind. Landed on can of pineapple. I know it's mostly sugar and water, but I chose SOMETHING, Finally.
I dreamed I was drinking last night and slept with a friend. That's beyond disturbing because I have nothing but friend feelings for her. That's two things that won't happen.
I feel very depressed physically and am just tired but made it to yoga anyway this morning. I'm contemplating skipping exercise classes tonight and just going to bed. We'll see

My husband is a major stress eater. I finally decided for us both the garbage had to go.. We both feel better..

My husband replaced food with bush hogging our land and working on his lawnmowers..

Today a neighbor fed me her leftovers. Delish.
But then also this almost happened.
I typed a short message that said "sex. No attachment. Just f--- me and leave. No talking. Y/N?"
This was to my abusive ex. I didn't send it, but I'm feeling that bad. Something is not right with me. I see my t this week but that was stupid to even think about.
I gotta get out of here for a while

Went this morning. Someone there is in obvious anguish over someone in their life and the stress, even though they said "I'm ok" was heavy. I did give them a hug and told them they didn't have to tell me anything but they were in my thoughts.
