躁狂症人群饮食应注意什么?

3. 认识自己的饮食习惯 Know thy eating habits

      Do you start living on Skittles when you're heading towards a manic episode, and eat nothing but dry toast and coffee when you're getting depressed? Does your mood dip if you skip breakfast? Do you have a hard time sleeping if you eat too late at night? Being aware of how your eating habits correlate to your mood can be extremely helpful in heading off bipolar symptoms. If you've never given much thought to it before, try keeping a food journal for several weeks. Keep a record of when you ate, what you ate, and how you felt throughout the day. After a month or so of record-keeping, you might discover patterns you didn't know were there.

       你会不会因为烦躁的心情把生活弄得一团糟？你会不会因为心情郁闷而只吃面包或是只喝咖啡？会不会因为没有吃早饭而闷闷不乐？会不会因为晚上吃得太多而辗转反侧？此时，一定要注意自己的饮食习惯，因为饮食习惯与心情之间的联系实在是很密切，当您注意到您在饮食方面存在的问题时，请积极的加以纠正，因为这样对您的躁狂症的病情会有很大的缓解。如果您在这之前没有考虑过这些事，那就现在动手吧，记录您近几周的饮食情况，记下您的就餐时间，餐中有哪些菜肴，以及您吃完后的感受，经过一个月或是更长一段时间的“笔记”，您便会发现哪些食物可以使您的心情愉悦，哪些食物又会使您的心情变糟，而这些，您有可能在此之前还没有注意到。
