Improved eating = more depression??? (Long)

Posted by tryingtobewise on December 10, 2004, at 17:54:43

I hope this doesn't get transferred to the new eating board because I spend most of my time reading and sometimes posting here and feel I "know" many of you.

I see a psychiatrist for therapy & med management once every 3 weeks. I take Celexa & Lamictal. One of my (many:)) issues is "disordered eating behavior." A very poor diet indeed. Mostly sugar eaten non-stop throughout the day. No regular meals. Technically I am only a small amount overweight butI have had elevated blood sugar consistently over the past 18 months and was sent to a registered dietician to deal with this and to "normalize my eating behaviors".

So...the dietician was very nice. Good info, & I've been trying to follow her advice. More protein, healthy carbs., etc. Nothing too drastic though. I have not been hungry but I just feel totally slow and depressed. I thought I would feel better with "stabilized" blood sugar. This is so discouraging. I feel I am in slow motion & that my depression has worsened.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Thank you!
Kim

Sorry, but this thread does seem to be about eating more than about psychology... Here's a link:

Maybe it would be nice to get to know some of the people there, too? Best wishes,

Bob
