I think you have a good point about food - I noticed that without eating I cry more easily. My therapist today actually gave me $10 dollars (trust me, after a long debate of me flat out saying I wouldn't take it). I bought a loaf of wheat bread so I could get something with carbs and calories, but the protein idea is good - the bread cost me 2 dollars so I can still get protein or fat foods that will last me at least a few days...
Thank you for reminding me that not eating really does effect my mood - it's easy to forget

It's not uncommon to do really well for a while then go thru a really hard spot. It's part of the process. A two week dip is difficult, but you are doing the right things, by upping appts and taking meds and all. You need to eat, regularly, to keep your mind working correctly. Without the proper nutrition your brain will misfire. It happens just skipping one or two meals...even more so if you are skipping days. Get to a food pantry...just need basics...proteins....beans, peanut butter, nuts...some simple carbs like fruits and veggies. Gotta keep the mind fueled...it is MAJOR.
