Winterrain

You shouldn't be drinking alcohol because of the reaction to medications - so I don't drink, smoke or have caffeine and I feel better sometimes and when I have caffeine - coke - I don't sleep.

Go Winterrain!!!

Not me.. my diet consists of coffee and cigarettes. (cringe) gross I know. But when I'm depressed I have no interest in food.

yeah, right now im drinking, i just finished a cigarette, im eating doritos, and there'll probably be caffeine involved at some stage.

i can say with 100% confidence that i feel much better when my intake of all these things is at the bare minimum.

I was avoiding all of them - maybe just a bit of sugar occaisionally - and yes it does help.

Unfortunately in the last 5 weeks I've slipped back into bad habits...but I'm planning on fixing that real soon.

It doesn't just help because it is better for you body and nervous system - it also helps because you have a real feeling of cherishing and nurturing yourself by being conscious of what you consume - and cherishing and nurturing ourselves is what deppies so often fail to do. When we can love ourselves, it makes such a difference to the way we perceive both ourselves, and also everything else in our world.

Sending you love
