Um, yes. (blush) Well, naturally my anorexia would come into play here. However, the second time I tried Lithium I did force myself to add sodium to my diet. Actually I consumed salt by itself. The same thing happened.
I also realise that my low intake of food is causing part of the depression. However, I suffered from depression long before I suffered from anorexia.
Sigh. I'm a bloody mess.
