Sugar and Depression
Yesterday I was actually really happy. I was productive and smiling and just all around in a good mood. Then I reached for the chocolate cake at the cafeteria. I don't know why I did it, I just did. Almost immediately after eating the cake I just crashed. I haven't had any large amounts of sugar for almost 5 months, so that was a rather big impact on my system. I gradually just got more and more depressed, until I was on the verge of self injury. The odd thing is that I didn't feel bad about eating the cake, I still don't. I deserved one gosh darn piece of cake. It was just a random bout of depression that seems unconnected to most anything. I'm wondering if the sugar in my system could have caused that. Cause if so I really shouldn't eat sugar. I shouldn't anyway, but this would make it more important.
