Triptophan, don't eat turkey either...

sounds like maybe an allergy to chocolate? Have you explored this?

I thought this was just a problem I was experiencing.I started to think I was imagining this problem.

when i eat choccie..i get all sorts of horrible things happen..if you also suffer from anxiety probs this may be your answer..people with anxiety problems are hypersensitive to choccie and caffeine

It was funny when my husband said to me: "Boy you really are like Harry Potter" I said how so, he said when you get that really really cold feeling and like all you feel is deep sadness like none other and you eat chocolate and you feel better and need warm blankets too its like the Dementors are surrounding you.

I know funny as hell since I suffered this long before Harry Potter was ever written.

I wonder if Rowling has BP or at least severe depression at times.

Chocolate makes me feel better. I eat only two pieces at a time of a good Lindt Truffle. the way it melts is so soothing.

Seeing as I am in Mixed states and suicidal and crying and then feeling like I have energy and excersizing.. i think chocolate will be my best friend.

I thought the same, and I thought chocolate gave me insomnia, and then realized that I only crave chocolate when I'm entering an episode.

Yes I have the same problem. A pysch doctor told me to cut out both pop and chocolate because both contain caffeine.Caffeine acts as a stimulant and the goal of our meds is to calm us down whereas caffeine does the opposite that's why most of us "BPS" are attracted to things that make us feel better!So yes what you are experiencing is real and can cause both manias and depressions in some of us.The caffeine mania, the sugar in the chocolate causes bloodsugars to rise and drop causing swinging moods. Hope this helps!

Cadburys Chocolate.... always wondered about the 'bury' bit !!

I crave chocolate, and over eat the stuff. Temporary elation but everyone knows that.

I wouldn't say it affects me more with being on meds.

Hershey Bar ?

I crash caues I binge. Eat too much sweets. My doc was worried about hypoglycimia or thyroid. Just make sure your blood is/was tested.

This would just be so wrong! Maybe a controlled experiment is in order. I'm off to the Walgreens!

Try Publix !

On offer :-)

hummmm something to try, i miss mania!

yes, a few times made the mistake of mixing chocolate and Coca-cola - all that caffiene and sugar wired me. It will affect you even worse if you are prone to blood sugar imbalances.
