Personally I found it can help to write down or talk about any emotions which may be present yet currently outside of your scope of perception/awareness. E.g., "based on what happened today, any random person could be excused for feeling ____ or ____." I also found it helpful to reorient my diet toward sweets while processing emotion, foods which my body seems to "request" or crave in order to deal with situations that may pierce the lower portions of Maslow's pyramid. Like you just lost your footing on an important work project and people will be angry, or your stocks took a dive and you panic-sold, etc. By cutting out normal / healthy foods and focusing on indulgent crisis foods first, the overall caloric expenditure can be reduced insofar as crisis foods were what you really wanted to eat, and this direct approach helps to blunt the weight-gain effect of binge eating extra sweets combined with any normal foods outside of that scope. It felt weird at first, but it worked out well, in its strangely logical way. These are just my experiences though, and I really recommend that you keep a log and an open mind and see what you can figure out as you look into this further.
