That’s really interesting. I didn’t know she’d battled depression. I’m glad you’re not experiencing it now, it’s not good.
I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve read Harry Potter.

Sometimes I would start by eating much more healthy food. And no sugar, no dairy, no processed food, like you describe. But in deep psychosis I would eat nothing at all. I wouldn’t even dare to drink water. Which was worrying to everyone around me.

My diet has changed drastically over the years from not eating sugar because the voices told me too to eating a healthier diet in general when the weight gain from the APs became too much. It’s not perfect now but I still abstain from sugary drinks most of the time and limit sugar intake although there was a years long period where I ate the wrong foods after beginning the APs.

When I’m psychotic no my diet typically doesn’t change I don’t think. When I’m depressed it definitely does. I load on comfort foods and sweets because…I need the comfort -.- Food is one of the two things that still brings me pleasure during a depressive episode. So generally I end up not restricting my diet at all and eating very unhealthily and impulsively, so I gain weight.

I stopped eating almost completely. I lost a lot of weight. If I ate I had to cook. And I was in no shape for cooking food.

I lived off Cous Cous for about 6 months. I basically lost every piece of fat in my body. The AntiPsychotics soon sorted that out though…

Yeah, I found the same. It didn’t go with my diet at all. They wanted me to eat bread and meat and dairy.
