They've gotten worse on weekends, they've hit out of the blue in the late afternoons and early evenings, I've been with my SO at the time. Hm, what could it be???
On the days that they've hit, I haven't eaten lunch. Simple as that, and complex as that.
Not only have the episodes of depression started because I hadn't eaten, but they burst forth fully formed, like Minerva from the head of Zeus. I'm depressed, feel miserable, fat, ugly, worthless, hopeless, lumpy (not in a good way), disgusting, etc. AND I don't want to eat. I can't think of a single thing I could stand to eat, or to cook, or even to have to be in the same room with.
Someone somewhere has done research about this, which will probably interest me in a few months. For now, it's enough that I've figured out what's triggering these little episodes. I am posting it here, in hopes that some of you who have also been hit lately might find this useful. Maybe there's something similar starting you off, too, and it's just a matter of finding out what.
Oh, yeah! And then it's a matter of changing your entire life to avoid doing whatever it is, but that's easy, right??? ;-P
