Do you eat when you're stressed/anxious?

I see how it's comforting, but I feel it in my stomach when I'm anxious and it's hard for me to enjoy food when I'm stressed so I don't bother. What about yous?

Nope. Well, sometimes I eat tacos. They remind me of home.

Never. When I'm stressed or anxious, I'm not able to eat.

I find the action ironic to something I did once. I ate to help my anxiety; but it wasn't irrational: I specifically ate rice and soy sauce to chemically reduce my anxiety (and it worked very well). So technically yes, I did once eat because of nervousness. :P

What's in rice and soy sauce that helps? what about tuna? Is sushi basically the solution to anxiety?

Honestly I can't remember. Rice and soy sauce have a vitamin in them that reduce anxiety (even from phobias) but I don't remember what vitamin that is. All I know is it helped a LOT.

I tend to stay away from food, when I am stressed,nervous or angry. And if I DO eat, during these times, I am very much at risk of getting sick. Perhaps it is the concern of the possibilities of stomach upset, that I refuse to eat. I am not sure, though.

Mhm bad anxiety makes my stomach flip flop too, and I like to feel relaxed and really enjoy my food, I don't just eat for sustenance.

It depends on the situation really. Some things make you eat and some things make you not want to even think about food.
