Post your favorite depression meal

[mossrabbit]

What's your go to meal when feelings are hitting hard and you're having trouble eating/cooking?

 

[getoutgirl]

sad yogurt eating is my passion

 

[apearl]

minute rice mixed with bouillon :)

 

[UninformedLover]

frozen pizza or something easily microwaveable

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I just eat canned corned beef hash straight out of the can.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

Toast.

Bread or bagels or English muffins. Covered in anything from just margarine to garlic "butter" spread to peanut butter to cream cheese.

If I can put in a little more effort, frozen cubed hashbrowns fried in way too much margarine, seasoned with garlic and onion powder, covered in Cheez Whiz [the stuff in the jar] and ketchup at the end. I lived on that while on welfare, costs $2-$3 for a 2lb bag of those hashbrowns, it's cheap as shit.

I do this and if I have my own cheese at home I'll put some extra on. And chili crisp or hot sauce.

This was my mom's go-to depression meal too

 

[SecretDissociation]

Air!

Or for something more physical, I like to go to a buffet when I'm depressed, keeps me full for days and don't need to feel guilty since I'm spreading out the calories (I wish that was how it worked). For something more realistic (i,e, when I am broke) I like pitta bread and cheese spread. Easy to dip.

looks great in the picture you get all excited ...but what you actually get is a mess under cooked and tasteless .. the big mac is the perfect metaphore for life .. ..costs a furtune and its turns out shit..

 

[Emerita]

I eat alphagetti from the can, sometimes I take waffles out of the freezer and wait for them to thaw or a yogurt parfait

 

[rabidbunny]

buttered noodles, grilled cheese or a shake if i have protein powder. but i sometimes cook for my family and will make nicer meals even if im depressed, i guess cause i like feeding people and it can be a good distraction from my thoughts.

 

[Grav]

Pizza, burgers, and ice cream.

 

[Michi_Violeta]

Gatorade and not much else

Damn, you should post that on the poetry thread. STEVE HOLT!

Or if I feel real hungry then a glass of grain:

 

[technicallyAlive]

jar of peanit butter

 

[bubblecat]

Lately it's pan pizzas from Domino's.

 

[foggyskies_]

hot chocolate. it's warm, its fast, it's easy. if i put milk in it, it's enough nutrients and protein to keep me fueled for a little while. milk by itself is also one of my go-to meals for when i have no energy to prepare anything for myself, or can't bear to digest any food i already have.

 

[lamy's sacred sleep]

a banana

• requires almost no effort to prepare, just peel
• easy disposal
• If you peel it right, no mess on your hands. unlike something like an apple, where there will be mess
• it's soft, so you don't have to factor in will to chew
• it's sweet, therefore tasty
• it's yellow. good colour to brighten up your day
• in touch with your ancestors

 

[PinkgrassBuffer]

massive dish of spaghetti

 

[anonymouswebuser]

shawarma

 

[moya117]

spicy ramen

 

[OptingOutSmiling]

Peanut butter toast

 

[DivineSpark]

pizza, all types of pizza except for meat ingredients (vegetarian here)

 

[Aergia]

A painkiller for the hunger-induced headache and esomeprazole for the nausea /hj

Alternatively, a boiled (or pressure-cooked) sweet potato. It's soft so it's easy to get down and the flavour profile is just mildly sweet, which is helpful if you don't have an appetite. If you eat it whole and unpeeled there isn't even any prep involved.

 

[ropeburns&migranes]

plain pasta with cheese on top. if i close my eyes it almost tastes like carbonara

 

[whiskeyblanket]

Hard liquor straight from the bottle. Once I'm drunk enough to want to eat, a couple handfuls of whatever snacks are around.

 

[ConfusedClouds]

Cuppa soup with a nest of noodles dropped in (noodles are usually cooked enough by the time its a drinkable temp - and a nice warming mug to hug). My go-to comfort flavour is tomato.

 

[Goth_tt_B]

The adult lunchable type stuff. Portioned salami, cheese, and crackers. Sometimes some nuts or dried fruit thrown in
