Oh okay sometimes I feel the need to eat even if I'm not really hungry if that is what your looking for

Prayers too. Temptation and compulsion are strong when I'm manic especially if there is danger involved. Not always a struggle, but when it is it's exhausting to stay under control and make wise decisions.

It's called temptation

Hi
I have found myself being compulsive at times over the years. With food ...
- having cravings when I'm out of sorts, tired, or anxious.
My biggest or worst craving is for coffee - but if I let myself drink too many cups that starts up ... another problem - I may not get a good nights sleep.
Members in a Peer Support group I go to .. say that if they can't sleep ... they may getup and read ..or watch TV.. and hopefully be able to go back to bed later & sleep.
Maybe this describes what some of us deal with at times.
It becomes mind ( observing your quirks ) over just letting things get out of hand.
Hugs, Sandra

really it is cognitive dissonance.
