When I get stressed I unintentionally start restricting and skipping meals. It’s not to lose weight (though I do get skinnier which I like), but more so because it feels good and helps my anxiety.

If it gives you an impression of power and control when you starve, it's maybe kind of an eating disorder thing to cope w your anxiety. I think you already know it's not very vertuous otherwise you wouldn't be asking about it. I would recommand gettin help for anxiety. Take care.

I think I’m depressed.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
