Diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I started by going to my GP who listened to my condition and noticed that I had mood swings which went from being very depressed and tearful to being very extrovert and with a very sharp memory.
I was refered to a consultant at a hospital and had an interview which lasted for 90 minutes. The consultant was very nice but found it a bit strange that I kept accurate notes of all my medical appointments. The problem is its worse than that I can remember all the formulas and equations that I learnt at school. I can even remember my first and second Barclaycard numbers. NHS number National insurance number, hospital number and health centre number. Need I say more.
It is this sort of mental weirdness which indicates that you could be bipolar.
The consultant said this is normally picked up by the time you are 21years old.
Initally I was a bit worried but then I just accepted it and just watched my behaviour while I was out. If I feel depressed I just stay at home and eat a bit of dark chocolate and beetroot which seems to help. Have any of you discovered food which can help your mood swings.

This is interesting...I'm sure it is scientifically possible that some foods can increase feelings of euphoria or depression. I never really noticed effects on my mood with food...except if I don't eat....I'm miserable.

I don't know what beetroot is...lol.
But, whatever works...I'm sure beet root is healthy since beets are of dark red color and the darker a vegi...the better nutritional value it has.
So it is possible that maybe the darker vegis can produce the same effect. I will have to eat some spinach and let you know.
