I don't think that makes any sense. Hunger and appetite are virtually synonyms. Or at least, I'd say that hunger is a condition of having an appetite.

You could say that you should eat something but have no appetite, like if you were sick or hungover, but I don't think that needing to eat means you're necessarily hungry.

Been there. Just have to force yourself to eat something you don't want, after a few bites you'll decide you wanted it after all.

It's like you're hungry with your stomach growling, but every type of food you look at disgusts you.

one is physiological

the other is psychological, it makes perfect sense bud

Stress is killing my appetite, and my body feels like shit from a lack of sustenance.

Seriously, I've been through that plenty of times before. You just have to eat regardless of if you want to eat or not. Go make a PB&J sandwich or something and eat it. After a few bites you'll actually want to finish it. If not, do it anyways and you'll feel better.
