Is it normal sugary foods give me depression?

I started this keto diet (no sugar) and I had been feeling great lately. I haven't had anxiety, negative thoughts, or depression. Then yesterday I splurged on coconut water and blueberries and knocked myself out of ketosis. Then I noticed today the same old problems came back. It's like a whirlwind of negative thoughts. I felt slow and groggy. Didn't want to talk to anyone. Made myself look stupid. Constantly worrying about my poature and weird shit like that. Started craving opioids again because they always 'cure' these issues temporarily.

Does anyone know what this could be? Its like I'll go through highs where I feel like I'm unstoppable. Nothing gets to me then randomly I hit a low where its hard for me to function. I think I have brain damage or something.

    Paleo (Keto diet) is not a diet, rather a way of life. Unless you are strong-willed, don't try it. Instead, stick to the regular diets.

    This is why I don't recommend the Keto diet to clients unless they ask for it!

    To get to the cause... In a state of ketosis, your body is utilizing ketones for energy as opposed to carbohydrates. As a result, your body will deregulate the systems that break down carbs into energy during a prolonged state of ketosis. So when you splurge and eat carbs, your body is not used to using those. This results in your body being ineffective at converting them into energy which would result in a significant loss in energy and lethargic feeling.
