Dealing with the compulsion to overeat as my optimism is cracking - seeking advice (hexbear.net)

Dear comrades, recently I have been stuck in interpersonal conflict in my political life. This has made one of my main avenues for empowerment and dealing with the weight of the world less effective. As a consequence, I have had recurring urges to overeat. It has negatively impacted my health and energy beyond the general lethargy of mild depression.

Does anyone have any strategies or advice for compassionately handling these impulses? My wallet and body will surely thank you.

Mushrooms and cauliflower are both low calorie, nutritious and filling. I also like to eat sunflower seeds, in the shell, like a weird little squirrel guy, because it kind of rate limits my ability to eat them quickly
