Eating when bored.... Bad idea huh? I probably have a eating disorder never been diagnosed but it seems like a feasible diagnosis. I mostly eat "comfort" foods when I've had a stressful day. Stress seems to trigger it, doesn't help that I'm poor. One way I find to make myself not hungry anymore is to eat lots of fruit and stay away from candies and processed junk. But it doesn't stop my compulsions to keep eating because there is nothing else to do. I'm not overweight, never been able to gain weight even on a junk food diet.

Yes! But for PTSD and depression, its been helping tremendously. My appetite used to be poor, now my appetite is huge. I have good self-control and been hooked on drugs and came off before. So I'd hope I won't let myself go down this road of compulsive over-eating. Nothing will fill the void, no drug, no sex, no partner, no food will fill the void. If I had friends or a job I'd be fine, but I have no motivation and am poor at planning.
