Has anyone else had feelings of sadness and depression just come over them from time to time with no apparent reason? I have been doing well for the past 2 months. I mean, I really felt like I had gotten over some major hurdles in recovery and there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Then last night I started to not feel quite myself. By this morning I was profoundly sad. I didn't even feel like myself. I pulled my hair back into a barrette and was so affected by the feel of it that I had to take it out. All sensations were totally magnified and uncomfortable. all I wanted to do was stay in bed with my eyes closed. I wasn't in pain physically, but emotionally I was a mess. Strangely, I had no feelings one way or the other about restricting, but the whole experience was bizarre. I am starting to feel normal now. I am up and drinking green tea and feel like I can go about the day. has anyone else had anything like this happen to them?? Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for your response!! I am glad to know I am not alone in all these crazy feelings. LOL I wonder sometimes if it is somewhat hormonal. I will be 40 years old this year, so I certainly could be perimenopausal. Add to that the fact that I haven't had a period since 2001, and you get a recipe for a hormonal mess. :)
I did not restrict - I ate both breakfast and lunch today and feel pretty normal now. Here's hoping this episodes are far and few between. With 3 kids, a bunch of pets, and a husband, I just don't have the time to give into these feelings and veg out. LOL
