Do you crave foods when you are depressed? Or do you lose your appetite?
Fondue sounds yummy! Gosh it's been a long time since I had it. As for craving foods when depressed, an absolute yes. Depression tends to cause me to eat more than I should, and mostly sweets. I often gain weight when depressed. When stable, I eat more moderately. When hypomanic/manic, I eat less than usual.

What do you crave most for snacks? For example, salty stuff, sweets, dairy, etc.
