Hi I'm new- and have a question about hypomania/eating

Postby ciaolavida » Tue Jul 04, 2006 4:31 am

Hi everyone, I'm meg. I have a question, does anyone get this feeling when hypomanic that they just can't stop eating? I just get to be like a bottomless pit and it's really bad for me!! All I ever want is ice cream and more of it. What do you do? Advice would be great...I mean, I don't really eat when I'm depressed- but no complaints there ;)

Hi meg, and welcome.

this is odd, I had to reply,
It is just the opposite with me......but maybe you are craving carbs? Are you on any antipsych meds? They have a rep for doing this.
I eat, or even binge when depressed but that is another issue for me. Thank G. I don't get depressed but twice or so a year. But man are they bad when I do get them, they make up for lost time that's for sure.

Hmm we sound like the exact opposite! I'm a rapid cycler (daily, usually) and I eat a lot or binge when I'm manic but don't eat when I'm depressed. Luckily it balances out in the day :wink: I'm on lamictal and abilify... so who knows how they might be affecting me?
