yes. i definately think stress can lead to eating problems. as a matter of fact thats what my friend is going through. when you're stressed your stomach seems like its in clinches right? so therefore it would be uncomfortable to eat. when youre stressed you just dont feel like eating.

Stress absolutely can cause that. Its your body telling you to slow down. Just like some people get headaches r whatever. People often dont relaize that stress affets your immune system too. You need to relax. If you can't slow down our life, at least give yourself some "me time". You don't have to neccisarily go on a vacation. A bubble abth is a start. The best thing you can do... however wrong this may sound... is exercise. It releases a lot of that stress.
Good luck... remember that a bunch of errands really isn't worth feeling crappy all the time. Put yourself first every once in a while... you'll start to feel better soon.

Yes stress can lead to problems even mental or emotional illness. Everything and everyone has a threshold of stress that
they can withstand. Even a rock subjected to enough stress can break that's why there's sand! For me when I'm stressed
out I useto holler or eat a lot.. now I just take a few st. johns wort pills or st. johns wort tea .. and that seems to work some times it does make me sleepy but not as bad as Valerian... that herb knocks me out like a light! If it is your job that is stressing you quit it and get a less stressing job! Oh when I'm out of the st.johns wort or some times I forget about it or don't think of it then I do holler or over eat if stressed out. It takes alot to get me stressed out.. some might think me easy to stress but if they saw my whole day or whole week they'd realize it's not easy to
stress me out! I do get annoyed and stressed out at insulter, putdowners, degraders, spyheads, blabberheads.. and if I think of it I will take St. Johns Wort! The tea is best but if I need fast
acting then it's the pill form!

Of course!! Stress does a number of things to the body. Same thing happened to me, I was so stressed out, I couldn't eat more than a couple of bites, any more and I felt like I was going to get sick. What is stressing you out? You need to take some stress classes. Learn how to deal with situations with out letting your self get totally stressed. Take one day at a time. Good luck.

Yes, when I'm stressed and off my rockers, I either refuse to eat completely, or I eat anything and everything in reach.
