is it possible for depression to be linked to, like, not getting enough sugar or something? ive been in a really rough mood the past couple days, and today i ate some candy and felt a little better after, so im wondering if it could be some weird nutritional/diet thing like that

@typhlosion not sure if sugar in particular is it, but we've definitely noticed that we feel better after eating

@typhlosion "Hungry" is the first letter in HALT, after all . . .

@OchotonidKnight true... yeah, ill try to make an effort to eat more food and more regularly, see if that helps

@typhlosion sugar gives you strong shot of dopamine, but it's very bad for your health and can be addictive. to fight depression with 'be well fed', try rather cooking and making delicious plant based food that is not processed - fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, nuts, legumes, etc.
