I have just had a rough week at work due to some difficult deadlines that none of my senior managers are willing to hear out, and we lost some additional developers due to a layoff. I'm really stressed

If you feel empty inside after eating hot dogs then you are nae true hotdog lover. No biggie. Not everyone can handle all beef franks, a dollop of chili, chopped onions, and mustard on brioche buns. Maybe you are a BLT lover instead, or perhaps a chocolate lover? Maybe those would fill you up and temporarily make you forget all your occupational drama, if only briefly. You can always make up for it by spending a little more time working out or exercising the next day, which is also good for dealing with stress. Win-win.

What if it is just a coping mechanism for trauma? I.... my stomach is full, but I remain empty.
