I had what my therapists calls a hypomania episode a few weeks ago, and now she says she thinks i am bipolar.

Most of my adult life I have been in a funk, like a low grade depression.

Can 1 hypomania episode mean bipolar?

apparently: I looked for it too and it's gone.

want to talk about it here?

is there still an addictions forum?

multiplepetmom,

 

1. Maybe a good idea would be to have a cup that will only hold 4-8 oz or use a small plate and weigh everything so you are limiting yourself to the 2-4 oz of meat. As you have found out, if you eat more that what you should be, you will feel ill.
2. I used to be a stress eater myself. My friend got me into crocheting and if I feel stressed or hungry I simply do that and drink water instead. You need to find something to do with your hands. I do it while sitting in front of the TV.
3. Sometimes when I do not have any plans on the weekends I too get lonely. I try to go outside for a walk, sometimes I just go for drives. I go to the park with a book or do some gardening. And sometime I just want to veg out in front of the TV so I do. If I get hungry I first drink some water or a protein shake instead or I make a smoothie.
