Due to being Diabetic, it makes me glad I am on insulin. I just still need to make sure and not take too much. But for me when I am stressing or in a lot of excess pain like today, I seem to always want Ice Cream or a Milkshake. For some reason that seems to calm me down. Today has been one of those days. First it has been one where I have been in a lot of pain for some reason, and swollen. (Could be the heat as we were 89 today,) but a lot of it is worrying about Bills. My husband was still garnished this last paycheck. WA state law says 60 days not the 6 paychecks that his was this time. We have been told best thing might be to file bankruptcy which I am not really sure is the Best solution. Just calgon needs to take me away back to a better time in my life ~~TINA~~

Marshmallows can keep me calm. As much as I like sweets, I don't wanna risk having diabetes since it runs in our family.

@KrauseHome It's not too sweet but the softness and the subtle taste is good enough.

In my case, because of anxiety and because I suffer from hypoglycemia, that is, I am a calm person but sometimes when I get a lot of problems and stress, I start biting my nails, which I have improved for health and aesthetics since I am quite well and I like it, but if I can and I have anxiety I would eat everything weird hahaha it is like having cravings for pregnancy I make rare congregations in the food when I have stress.

I can relate with tthat one. But then when things calm down, it seems like sometimes I forget to eat as I am not really that hungry

@KrauseHome If it is nerves of fear then I am not hungry and it makes me nauseous, but if it is anxiety about stress then I can easily grab some legumes and throw sugar lol

@KrauseHome I agree. It is not easy. It is still struggling for me and my family, too.

@KrauseHome I can relate to this kind of situation. I tried my best to find ways to earn money when my father was hospitalized before.

I also love to have ice cream when stressed. I am a little low on sugar but my entire family was diabetic so I have to be a little cautious of my sugar intake.

My go-to stress food is cake. My happy food is cake. My sad food is cake. Cake is my everything! LOL Sorry you're dealing with a lot on your plate right now. Just try to take it one day at a time. I know it's hard, but stressing and worrying can't change anything, except our level of stress and our health.
