Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Bagpuss Date: 03 Apr 01 - 08:30 AM When depressed because of SAD (seasonal affective disorder) I tend to crave carbohydrates. During other depressions, I tend to eat very little, except venlafaxine and mirtazapine. By the way it is National depression Week in the UK - so I'm doing my bit and raising awareness of a crippling illness which still has a huge amount of social stigma attached and of which many people know very little, even though they are generally well informed people.

Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: sian, west wales Date: 03 Apr 01 - 06:50 AM Taco chips or Tesco's Chocolate Fudge Brownie frozen yogurt - which has mega-sugar but next to no fat ... VERY much worth looking for this one, Liz. Oh, or greasy-crisp-bacon-on-cheap-white-bread butties. With onions fried black. Hmmm ... almost (but not quite) worth getting depressed for. Hope things lighten up for you soon. sian |
Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: sledge Date: 03 Apr 01 - 06:44 AM anything savoury, on reflection this along with beer may explain my less than sveldt figure. |

Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Apr 01 - 05:35 AM Hmmm, might just give the Hot dog sausages a try. We have a catering size 100 tin of HDS downstairs........ And please, send me the recipe/availability for Chocolate Truffle Explosion Ice cream - it sounds a blast!! Have progressed onto chocolate and crisps, things are not good...... although after 2 weeks of no appetite, anything is better than nothing! LTS |
Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Firecat Date: 03 Apr 01 - 05:27 AM HOT DOG SANDWICHES!!!!!!!!! And lots of them! Alternatively, I've just found this new sandwich. Take three slices of white bread, half a tin of tuna, a few slices of turkey ham, ketchup and salad cream. Mix the tuna with some of the ketchup and the salad cream. Lay the turkey ham on one slice of the bread (NO BUTTER!! It spoils the taste!) and spread the rest of the ketchup on it (If using a full bottle, use as much as you want). Put another slice of bread on top of that and spread tuna mixture on it. Place final slice of bread on top of that, squash down a little bit, cut into quarters (or half if you've got a big mouth!) and eat, with tomato and crisps on the side. GORGEOUS!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Apr 01 - 09:09 PM All the same things I eat when I'm not depressed, only with a bit less enjoyment. Pretty boring, eh? I get depressed just thinking about it... - LH |

Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Peg Date: 02 Apr 01 - 08:35 PM Cape Cod potato chips; Jif peanut butter on crackers (when not depressed I eat the all natural kind); ice cream (favorite at-home is Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Caramel Fudge); Lucky Charms cereal with milk... |
Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Helen Date: 02 Apr 01 - 07:16 PM Chocolate dark & bitter. Just discovered a Nestle variety here in Oz called Mocha Truffle - combines deep dark chocolate with deep dark coffee flavour. Yumm! Cheese - allergic to dairy foods, that's why. Scotch whisky - but never gin when depressed. I tested the Scotch theory for 14 months until end of June last year. It definitely works for stress. It is like a switch being turned off in my brain, stopping that high speed mouse-wheel repetition of everything that was worrying me and for which I could find no solutions. I haven't had a drink of Scotch for at least 6 months. Only needed it when I needed it. Helen |

Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Hollowfox Date: 02 Apr 01 - 06:06 PM Usually I bite people's heads off. Other than that, things with chocolate or salt. Or pastry. Or unbaked cookie dough. |
Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: CarolC Date: 02 Apr 01 - 05:56 PM So what do you eat when depressed? Not much. Sometimes I get so skinny, I scare myself when I look in the mirror. I gain weight when I'm happy. It's a no-win situation. |
Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: kendall Date: 02 Apr 01 - 05:46 PM Kudos. Chocolate swirl no fat no sugar added ice cream. Crackers and peanut butter. |
Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Kim C Date: 02 Apr 01 - 05:40 PM Brie cheese, Haagen-Dazs Rum Raisin ice cream, sushi, or a tall Mocha Valencia from Starbucks. If I'm at home I may drink wine or whatever's there but I have to watch that. |
Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: campfire Date: 02 Apr 01 - 05:39 PM I'm with you on the chocolate. Fresh, home-made chocolate chip cookies are the best. Otherwise, just the chocolate chips will do. Or Chocolate Truffle Explosion Ice Cream. Maybe with the fresh chocolate chip cookies... campfire |

Subject: RE: BS: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Greyeyes Date: 02 Apr 01 - 05:37 PM I'm rarely tempted by comfort eating, I tend to hit the bottle, which just makes me even more miserable. More positively, favourite book/poem/CD/video can all help. |

Subject: So what do you eat when depressed? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 02 Apr 01 - 05:27 PM I've just finished an entire box of Ritz crackers (small savoury crackers for eating with cheese, pate, that sort of thing, nice and salty). Usually it's chocolate, but tonight, I'm that down, it had to be something different. Just to stop myself going completely round the bend, what do other 'Catters eat when depressed/down/lonely/bored witless? LTS Going for the chocolate now. |
