Iam not judgemental but I think eating to manage stresss is not the right thing. It just mask your stress without getting a solution. For me, I have not experienced depression so I cannot tell you how to manage it but I have experienced stress. What I do is think about the cause of stress over and over again to try to find out what went wrong. Incase, I am able find out what is causing my stress, I usually think of a solution. If it is so hard to handle, I share it with my family members to hear their opinion and pick the what I think is the best among the many. I also do some meditation sometimes to try and minimize the stress.

I also agree with your opinion and your way to manage your stress by trying to solve it. It is great behavior that showing you are really care with the problem and give big attention for it. Otherwise, masking the stress with other glad things can be the bridge to slow down the brain in finding the solution. The relax moment can give us the clearer mind to think and the wiser act to do in order to get the best solution. By the way, it is purely my opinion, Mr. There is no intention to reject your statement at all.

I also eat a lot whenever I am stress, but what it helps me a lot to eliminate my stress moment is by conversation with someone, I don't know it is just only me; but whenever I hear someone's problem and bad situation of others I feel relief and thankful that their problems are more hefty than mine

Good communication to someone close to you is really great. So sad I'm having a hard time looking for someone to trusts after I was betrayed by a close friend. :(

It is a choice. It depends on what you want your life to be. You want to stay in loneliness, living with stress and depression...it's a matter of choice. Why live in misery when we can be happy. Why not forget all the problem and be happy. Set aside all the problem..try to find a way how to resolve and how to avoid stress instead of living with it your entire life.

If I would suffer of all of them I would ask myself what is the worst. The loneliness that gives me stress and a depression? The depression in my dna and that is why I stay out of the way of other people and feel lonesome or the stress I might have from a job, neighbour, school or .... The only way to get over it is to start thinking what causes it. At least that works for me. I try to discover why I feel that way. I think stress is the most difficult thing for me to deal with. I am not great in relaxing also because my house is always filled with people. No place to go to. Loneliness is not killing me anymore since years. I like to be alone and since I am divorced I never feel lonesome anymore. Depressions are terrible.. I can feel them come, if I keep busy there is a big chance they will be gone before they really started. If I don't keep myself busy (bodywork not the thinking) I will go down for it. Allow myself to be that way for some days and come out of bed and live again after that time. I think I deserve to be sad or feel bad after the kind of life I had. It's an illusion to think you can just forget. You just have to see how to place it in your life. I know I survived an earlier depression so I also tell myself that I will survive the next one if it shows up since I am a strong person. This knowledge makes it easier to get over it as well.

As a common human, it can't be avoided to feel stress, lonely, or depressed. There are several things that I often do to manage it. Getting in touch with another persons who doesn't has any elation at all with our stress, talk with them about many things and laugh freely absolutely decreasing the stress. Playing with children are another powerful medicine to recover our stress cos they are still so pure, honest and cheer up anytime, their smile can influence us to be as glad as them. Doing our hobby, thinking of many pleasant moment happen by seeing the photograph, the note about it or just recall it. My last way to decrease my stress is by shopping. It is totally effective, I can forget all of my stress and being so fun doing it. Although, I just do window shopping, it still give good feeling and replace the bad mood. Yeah, whatever happen our mind is the king for us, so we have to manage it to be good for our self goodness.

Yes, Jane, there are times that we feel those. Fortunately, for me: 1. I have my God to turn to. 2. I have a minister who showers us every week of words of wisdom and understanding of Biblical truths. 3. I have my Bible to read encouraging and inspiring words.

Whenever I am stress I usually treat my friends, we eat a lot. If they're not available I go to the mall and go shopping. That way it eases my loneliness because of all the good stuff I bought.
