The thing about German words, if one doesn't exist, it's okay to make up a new one - like when you buy a Lego airplane set but use it to make a car instead (I guess this is true of all languages, but German really seems to have embraced it).
"Der Kummerspeck" is the weight you gain when you are sad, stressed, or whatever makes you eat emotionally. During Covid it was adapted into "Coronaspeck", the weight we gained because we never left the house. "Kummereinkaufen" might work for "stress shopping", but for the feeling of "just being fucking done with it..." maybe "der Einkaufenschmerz". It can have a bit of an existential vibe in the context of "Weltschmerz", which is literally "world pain" but tends to mean more like "world weary". So throw the right tone-of-voice on it, you're good (in that you're not good, but trying hard to be good or at least get through it...)
