It's hard for me to handle stress sometimes. I find comfort in eating a lot but I know it's not good for me.

Yes, I also overeat sometimes due to stress. It can be considered as an eating disorder.

I think it's a common thing but it doesn't mean it's healthy. I usually eat sweets, sugar seems to be making me feel better.

Yes some people call that emotional eating. It helps people cope with negative emotions.

Yes that's exactly what it is. But it only helps for a little while, it never actually solves any problems besides adding stomach ache.

There are healthier ways to regulate emotions, such as exercising and reading a good book.

That sounds good. ANother thing I like to do is go on a walk. Especially while being mindful of all the smells and sounds,I like to focus on my surroundings and that opens my senses and helps to think positive.
