cravings......shoving things in our mouths ......pushing down painful memories...feelings can go back to when we were babies nursed and fed by our mothers when we cried
if you are a smoker you most likely have a cigarette when feeling anxious again putting something in your mouth....
I ate far too much chocolate last night not because I craved it because it was there...I haven't been feeling too well for a while now and I basically was shoving food in my mouth pushing down unwanted feelings
all of this is a possibility....different of course for each and everyone of us

hello @Adek
please dont be upset with yourself
I too feel so helpless when I can't respond with words to ease the pain
we are so hard on ourselves yet can find love and forgiveness for others
you are here...responding...this shows that you care
we are not professionals here to help in that way....we are people with lived experience of one kind or another on a mental platform
we can be here....show that we care with encouragement and kindness, respect...
try to appease another's suffering....work together...listening and caring

it takes insight to be able to recognise signs within our physical being....connection between our physical and mental sides
it sounds as though you are experiencing a change or perhaps noticing a stirring inside you for change..
the distraction of radio, tv, internet can become irritating. do you have headphones so that you can listen to music that calms you or meditation?
go for a walk when you feel that urge....if nothing else you will become very fit
I am about to get off of here and go for one myself

@Adek @eudemonism @Appleblossom
I am about to head out for a walk in the wind
join me where you live if you can
we can observe and notice what we see of nature along the way
we are fortunate enough to be able to walk....there are so many who cant who would give anything to be able to

@eudemonism Hope you are not too bad. I'm alight. Delicate not great, but good enough.
Walking un the wind sounds wonderful. I'll be there.
