Food is my Drug of Choice

[Nurs0706]

This is just a random thought.. I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I don't take any illegal substances, and I drink maybe about once every two months.. But, when I have a bad day or just need to relax, I always find myself going for food, ESPECIALLY sweets. I see patients all the time with different addictions and try to help them with their cravings.. but it's funny because I kinda have one of my own. My thought through the day is: "What's for dinner, and more importantly, what's for dessert??!?!?"

I definitely have the same problem.

And after you've eaten it, you ask yourself "why?", because it really didn't taste all that wonderful!

STRESS FULL

Each of us, psychiatrists say, handles stress in his own way.

We chew our fingers, walk the floor, break the china, slam the door,

Go to pieces, go to sleep, or sit around the house and weep.

Some of us on wild extremes take to drink or poppied dreams.

But I, confronted with a fight, a burgler breaking in at night,

an earthquake, flood, or falling steeple

Unbalanced things (checkbook, people) or any type of depredator

Rush to my refrigerator. Eugenia Reed

And its so hard to break the habit of coming home super stressed out and just wanting something that is comforting and tasty and makes you feel better.
