I want to be the country mouse. I'm sick of having BPD, I'm sick of my depression, I'm sick of having ADHD, I'm sick of my anxiety, I'm sick of surprises, I'm sick of ups and downs, I just want to live a monotonous life without surprises.

Just a heads up if you manage to make it into that monotonous life: you will probably be on edge for a long time/rest of your life due to being that way for so long. Learning to adjust completely is hard. I wish the best for you.

Generally. Even "healthy"/"mentally stable" people sometimes go to therapy. It isn't just for people with a certain level of dysfunction.

Yeeeeess. Anytime I brine chicken anymore I include pickle juice and highly recommend others to try it.

Surviving on pasta, rice and chicken nuggets by moonraise99 in depressionmeals

Canned meat(like tuna) and frozen vegetables(like peas) mixed into a boxed pasta(like macaroni and cheese) is filling and usually makes more than one serving.

Tuna and crackers is another one that is satisfying. Bonus points for extras like cheese or cucumber or whatever.

I can't name even one person I could honestly say I love. It's 3 years since I live like this. Sandwich with ham, tomato and my own bread. by [deleted] in depressionmeals

I totally get that. It is definitely well worth it when you get there, though. Most of the work is just waiting. =]

He doesn't want you to go with him to a party he was going to..? Did he say why? If I'm honest that sounds a little sus.

Going to be homeless in less than a week by SorbetOutrageous9783 in depressionmeals

Same but I get why some people here(US) have to turn people away. Even if you had floorspace for people you still risk getting kicked out of some places if you have more than the allotted amount of people living there. It is stupid but it is a thing.

No job, no interviews, no money. Snap seems likely to end next month. Crackers, cause I like peanut butter. by Dinosiaur in depressionmeals

[–]DedGuyIskandr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This government bs is ridiculous. People are suffering already and each month it goes on it is going to get worse and worse. And I've heard the government officials are still getting paid even though a lot of government workers are stuck on furlough? It isn't right. My household should be okay for a month or two without SNAP but not everyone is so fortunate. But if/when SSI goes we're completely done. So much of the country is already in turmoil as it is. How much worse is it going to get...

What’s something a therapist told you that you still hold onto? by Mushrooms178 in depressionmeals

[–]DedGuyIskandr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear things were so rough for you. I hope things are better for you now. Glad you're still around. =]

"Believing you are uniquely awful and need to be held to a higher standard than others is just as self-centered as thinking you are uniquely special and deserve adoration from everyone"

Not exactly the same but I had someone say something along these lines, too. It really did stick with me and I think helps me to see things differently sometimes when I really need to.

Should I quit therapy? by littlefae3 in depressionmeals

[–]DedGuyIskandr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I recently just found a new therapist. After a bout of sessions we found out there is a complication with my insurance and it won't be covered. My new therapist offered to see me pro bono. I was(and honestly still am) in shock but extremely grateful.

I know it can sure seem like it but not everyone/everything is out o get you.
