Went to the supermarket with good intentions, but no list.

I was doing good at the beginning.
Milk, OJ, green juice, olive oil, eggs, cheese, tuna....
A little fun now. Potato, egg and chicken salads... they need company.
3 different crackers and 2 types of bagels.

Went to the deli and got soup, baked chicken and cooked pork. Not bad.
Unexplicably, I bypassed the fruits and veggies. Except for the bananas.
Stoffer's TVD were 5 bucks from 8. Good deal. Got 4.
Now the fun part. The bakery.
Carrot Cake-Red Velvet BOGO. Check.
Strawberry-Banana Walnut Loaf Cake BOGO. Check.
Of course, the ice cream is next to the bakery.
2 halves for 7 bucks?, Chocolate Chip and Bear Claws are for me.

I've been making myself sick (really sick) since yesterday.
Is this a bipolar moment?. Or plain stupidity on my part.

Think this is just mania - I've been told we eat more when we're manic. Before I kew I was BP, the big episode I had I ate M&Ms for breakfast because they reminded me of childhood .

Still, I also have binge/overeating and so definitely eat to self-medicate and might do something like that (but not as extreme). Sounds like that's not usually your problem.

Idk...normal brained people do that too! One thing I never do is go to the store hungry because I will totally buy a ton of junk. I know TONS of people like that.

I usually plan mostly what I'm going to get and don't get much beyond it. Most of it is meat, produce, and dairy. I only let myself get a "treat" about once a month. I pick one junk item. It's hard, but money is tight, so I just tell myself I don't have the money.

My sweet treat is fresh coconut in food processor cooked with rice ,sugar and condensed sweet milk.

I eat a bowl full almost every day.

I buy sweets when I'm depressed.
Like now. 10 months into it. My fault for not changing Pdocs soon enough.
When I'm manic, I go to fancy places I cannot afford. Well, no credit now.
Or spend way more fixing a meal that I can buy it for in a restaurant.

This experience has been terrible. Can't hold any food.
And I'm feeling the full effects from the Lithium.
Cold hands and feet, plus very tired.
I'll go lay down for a while to see if it goes away.

You've mentioned that you were depressed, so I'm inclined to say that is the result of the depression. I used to eat an entire cake by myself almost every week when I was depressed. It's easy to start emotional eating without realizing it.

Hang in there, pirilin. xo
