Why is my stomach doing this?!


Question: Why is my stomach doing this?
I am struggling with depression and it's changed my appetite drastically. For some reason I'm not hungry until 5 or 6 PM. and then I feel like I'm starving when midnight rolls around. If I eat before 5 or 6 I feel really sick, like im going to throw up. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with me? Or how I can fix it?

Answers:

It is for the same reason that you don't want to eat when you are frightened or scared. Even if you aren't hungry, eat. The decreased intake of food will further embrace the depression. See this site for more info: http://www.conqueringstress.com/stress-symptom.html

It might be a symptom of depression. It might be caused by the deprivation during the day. It might be the type of food: starches, grains, beans, bread, gravy, cake, cookies, candy, any sweets. Those can cause cravings. I get cravings as well, and I can make cookies, bread, crepes at midnight, and then, not remember what I baked or cooked. I guess to fix it, eat more fish, greens, chicken soup, no noodles, no pasta, nor grain. Also, drink tea during the day. Eat a banana and a few oranges during the day. Season the fish with lemon. What is wrong with you is nothing, as I have to say, I have the same thing. I account for it, by managing to do more exercise. Apparently, if it is midnight, and I want cookies and milk, then, I shall cook them, and no one, not even my rational brain can stop this over powering urge to bake. But the next day, I take the leftovers to my son and give it away. Each day is a new day. I sometimes have to force myself to eat an apple, but I cut it up and eat it, and manage to eat 1200 calories per day. Better to get that food down in the AM and early evening than forget to turn off the range or oven due to sleep cooking.
