In my case, it's not depression, just a bout of sadness and/or agonising.
I do sometimes experience mini anxiety/panic attacks though. It's like a vicious spiral and I become convinced that Hades will break loose (and sometimes even see signs of it happening). However some part of my brain usually takes over and goes over every possibility rationally and I calm down.
Remembering to breathe usually helps.
Could this be related to the fact that some people eat a lot (and therefore chew) when they're anxious or stressed?
I think so too.

ETA: by the way, if you have a panic attack or are on the verge of one, chew gum. It counteracts the body's ability to let the fight or flight adrenalin response kick in.

Everyone does o.o
