Overeating or undereating

[Elinah]

Does anyone overeat or undereat during mania? I seem to have a mix of both, but when i eat, i eat because i feel i have to, not want to

When I'm manic I forget to eat. I've even got dehydrated & had to go to the ER. When I'm depressed I can't stop eating, mostly carbs. We can't win!

When your thoughts begin to race a bit faster than it usually does, when you get 10x more happier or irritated, when you can find yourself acting impulsively, creativity starts to flow, Stuff like that. Talking alot is a major manic 'if' especially when u dont talk alot, like me. I start talking excessively like im taking an oral essay instead of writing it, and sometimes i can write a frickin essay too

  I also do little of both i either eat to much. or lately .nothing at all. I go days w/o eating just drinking coffee. It seems as if i eat something I can't stop! so I just don't eat at all

I do this too! I either over eat during a short amount of time then I feel guilty and ashamed or I either don't way at all and starve myself.

My eating changes with my mood, I either under eat or over eat, i think that is common with depression and mania

When I am manic I don't eat. When I am depressed I can't stop eating.
