Years ago I used to lose weight in depression because starving myself was a form of self harm for me and made me feel better. I had other unhealthy coping skills too. Now when depressed I use food as comfort because I don't indulge in any of my other vices anymore (except smoking cigarettes). So I tend to gain when depressed. And now thanks to high prolactin I gain extremely quickly. So even one week of eating like **** sends me up 4-5 pounds.

I haven't been hypomanic or manic in so long I can't say if I would gain or lose then.
