So I just went through a very small depressive episode (a few weeks) and have noticed the mania ramping up. 

The issue I have is that when I go through a depressive episode I have zero appetite, when I am feeling a bit manic I want to eat everything all the time. Those of you with these same issues, what are some good ways to cope? Previously I'd worked in restaurants and bars, so it was easier to limit what/when I eat.
