Does mood influence the way you taste food?

I need to know if anyone else is feeling like this, I'm in a pretty shitty mood, unmotivated to do anything and had food made for me by someone close, and it tastes like shit, I've had this exact same dish made for me before, tonkotsu ramen from the pack with all sorts of things that I like put in, but, it just doesn't taste the way it normally does. Does anyone else experience this?

It's happened to me before. Sometimes, if I'm really down, everything can taste ten times better-- or ten time worse. It depends on the mood. Our emotions can affect us in many physiological ways that we don't even realize.

If my mood is really bad food tastes bland. I presume it's because of depersonalization.
