I do not crave them, but to me eating protein and green salad is like work, and when I am stable, I am happy to do the work and do not eat carbs, but when I am depressed, I do not do the work and I eat pizza, polenta, mashed potatoes, etc., because they are comfort foods. I also think that because depression is bleak and colorless for me, I eat bleak polenta and not brightly colored salads - I must be subconsciously selecting foods to match the mood.
