barely eaten anything since lunch yesterday because I just don't want to. Even cool stuff like getting to drive (only have my learner's) isn't helping my mood any. Not particularly sui today, but was yesterday. Now I just don't care.

Please eat something. Even if it is just a little bit and you don't want to eat it. Lack of food can effect you moods. Sorry you are having such a tough time. Please call your doctor to see if you might need a med change or your therapist if you have one to help you through this.

even if you are just down, it could lead to an episode if you dont take care of yourself. do you know what you need to do to do that? get plenty of rest and exercise. eat even if you dont feel like it. distract yourself from depressing thoughts, get invovled with something to take up your time. hope you get to feeling better.

I'll try to eat something small for dinner. I've been getting too much rest since my sleep has been erratic. Almost took a third nap today and I'm still really tired. I've been trying to force myself to do exercise but I just have no energy.
I probably sound really whiney right now...

I had a frozen banana for dinner. At least I'm good on potassium.

BTW, I asked the following in the SI forum but that's gonna take forever to get a response. Is refusing food a form of SI?

Yes it is. You mood is probably worse due to lack of food and fluids. You mood will be down and depressed you will be exhausted and if your taking your meds and not eating you are putting more stress on your kidneys and liver. You should at least eat when you take your meds . At the least drink water 24/7 .
I hope you can find a way to help yourself feel better

Yes, it is for sure. I have had this problem it's one of my SI problems, actually. I have become better about it now but as a teenager this was one of my main SI tactics.
 I agree with Christina. My mood is much, much worse when I havent' been eating or when I need to eat. I also have less control at that time mood-wise. If you can't eat, stay hydrated at least and try things that have some calories in them like juice or milk. Otherwise, you're going to mess up your metabolism really bad. When you don't eat for a while your body causes your liver to produce glucose to keep you from starving. Do it too much, and your body thinks you're in a famine. Even later in life your body has trouble recovering from this type of thing. Take care of yourself, CG.

What I do when I can't eat (which is almost all the time) is that I try to stay hydrated, like faerie said, because I find that helps with the appetite. I also try to find small things to eat that don't require much chewing, just to keep the blood sugar on a non-critical level. Not eating makes it easier for the brain to switch over to mania or hypomania (I think my brain has figured that fact out and is abusing it), and it can also affect your mood badly (even if it makes you feel better), so you should try to eat regularly.

right now he's trying to get me out of a worsening depression. Goals include positive thinking and eating more. I had lunch today because I couldn't get out of it, but I mostly had a meatless eggless salad.

Mmmm salads! My favourites have peppers, feta, cucumber and nuts/seeds. I use a lot of nuts/seeds in salads because I don't eat very much meat. And they're just delicious.

ceasar, a little bit of dressing, a few olives, iceberg lettuce, and onions. Also a few croutons and a little cheese.

I'm glad you had stuff in your salad comic
 It actually sounds quite yummy, I haven't had a ceasar salad in ages!

I knew I wouldn't be able to function if I didn't have a little food... Hadn't had anything to eat since the banana for dinner last night.
