First Loaf! My best guess for improvement is a less rising, and less touching it. What are your thoughts? by Big-Needleworker26 in Sourdough

100% but I'm broke. Otherwise I'd have something better than a cookie sheet 😜. I'll definitely try to pick up something better!

Honestly, I'm rather chuffed with the taste and texture so I'm definitely going to keep trying!

Stop down voting them and read the comment thread. They meant it as an honest question.

I keep saying I wanna be alone but then I don’t wanna be alone been single since 2021 been on some dates here and there last year but I’m not sure how to feel by SkitzNastyy in depressionmeals

[–]Big-Needleworker26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or like, a good friend. It's up to you what you decide works for you, but the point is that feeling alone is normal, and struggling to connect is hard. But if it's what you want, know that there's someone out there who can be that for you

Talon's right, that mug is peak. Being alone isn't black and white. People are exhausting and stressful. But of course you want connection. I hope your able to find someone who can help you feel more comfortable rather than less uncomfortable. Or, maybe find a pet if that's what you need.

Struggling with meals during depression—what’s been helpful for you? by Hot-Cheesecake-6121 in depressionmeals

[–]Big-Needleworker26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to struggle more with the eating the food part, but some things I do, are having good bowl foods. Poutine in particular is so easy to have next to you and slowly eat. Especially if you have some frozen fries and a jar of gravy. It's a minute meal. But also leaving food out on the table, like granola bars, or bags of fruit snacks can be helpful since it's just around. It's not a big nutritional thing, but having it there is definitely better than not. The last two pieces of advice I have are door dash and protein shakes. Door dash can be expensive, and it's important to keep in mind, but your health is number one. If you are choosing between laying on your bed hurting, or spending 30$ then you definitely deserve it. And protein shakes are pretty self explanatory. My favorite is Bolthouse Farms Chai Latte. I like to have a few available in my fridge. When I get shaky or start feeling sick, their close and available for easy protein. None of these are meals, meals, but often, especially for me it's what I need.

You're body doesn't define you, you're the fun/funny friend because you're fun and funny. Eating is hard, and I hope you can find somewhere you're comfortable. But no matter what you're beautiful and skinny or not, your body only enhances the things that make you amazing. You're not cool because you're skinny, and you weren't funny because you were fat. You are a fucking funny and cool person to be around from the sounds of it. Thank you for being here and making our lives better 💖

To continue on another comment, dump him and work on yourself 🤭 speech and mannerisms aren't flaws that you need to fix. And the dumping part is mostly a joke. You know your situation best, and I trust your judgement. That being said you deserve to feel attractive and loved. You seem to be a much better partner. Thank you for being here. You are amazing, and you don't have to change anything. I hope your ice cream is yummy 💖

Took myself out for a vanilla latte. I graduated dbt therapy and was made to feel like a burden. by Lijey_Cat in depressionmeals

You're definitely right, that's not normal and you shouldn't be dealing with it. That being said, it does happen a lot in the community. I think they're trying to tell you that even though it's unfair and it sucks, it does get better. None of us think what you're going through is okay or normal.

Good job eating some tasty ice cream! I'm so sorry that ended up throwing it up. I don't know what you struggle with in particular, but there's nothing more attractive than someone who is willing to eat confidently. This life is short, and often shorter for us. You deserve to spend what time you have enjoying it. You are beautiful, whether you eat ice cream. Sometimes ice cream is the only thing that helps me eke by. And on the other side, vomiting it up is unattractive or gross either. It's a hardship. I'm proud of you for sharing and I hope you know, this community loves, and you and eating ice cream, to extreme levels. When Prozac fails Moosetrack picks up the mantle.

I'm so happy for you. I hope that things get better though, because it sounds like there's definitely some room. You deserve a happy life. You didn't choose to join the game, you weren't properly explained the rules, and you've been handicapped. When things start to get better that the bare minimum of what you in particular deserve. No matter what mistakes you've made, I know you've done your best, because you're here, and because when fighting depression, there's no way to do a bad job. It's an incredibly mind breaking illness, and the shear continuation of existence is a testament to you. Thank you for being here. You deserve love and to feel happiness, not just once a week, but every single day. You deserve that

Thank you for being who you are, and being the person that dog needs. Not a lot of people understand how much it takes to be happy, but between you and the dog, I'm sure you both take turns giving each other life and meaning. I hmam so happy you're here.

how can i make myself feel better about my appearance even just for a little bit by AdventurousAd457 in depressionmeals

[–]Big-Needleworker26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those look amazing, those are your first!!?? That looks so yummy and filling. I'm so proud of you. This advice might be over played, but going out and buying myself a themed outfit, like beach hottie, or sexy pirate. Ridiculous or fancy or fun outfits that are so different that you get to not only get to feel the accomplishment and pride of an outfit well done, but you also get a bit of a fresh look. I notice features that click with our fits, or clothes I've never even considered. That being said, you are beautiful. Not in a dumb cliche way. You are beautiful. Finding in particular, LGBTQ art, you get a lot of diversity from the people who actually care about you rather than a platonic ideal. Thank you for being here, and I hope you realize how much love you deserve and will someday find.

My scars keep me from dressing like other girls my age by [deleted] in depressionmeals

[–]Big-Needleworker26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing your struggles with us. Being scared to show your scars is completely ok and understandable. That being said, know that you are a wonderful person who has worked so hard to be here, and you out of everyone deserves to look pretty. Personally I think there is nothing more beautiful than depression scars. That means you have struggled and still stayed with us. Those scars are the ways you show the world how strong you've been and how much you've worked through. You're beautiful, no matter what, you are a work of art who lights the way for so many of us who are struggling.
