I often eat when I am having a very hard day even if I am not hungry. Someone told me that eating to distract oneself from problems is a form of addiction? Should I stop?

  1. You aren't allowed to overeat (Rambam, Deos 4:19)
  2. You aren't allowed to waste time (Kitzur 126:4)

If you don't fast these two problems, it appears to me that you are allowed to eat

Most definately. If you are feeling down then do a bit of soul searching to find out why. Dont just fill up the whole with emptiness.

If you find that it helps you, then who cares? Unless you are getting overweight then it is a good way to solve a problem. There are probably more important things in your life to work on anyway.
