Since I am not a child I don't change my eating habits based on my mood to any substantial degree, I might have a few beers or eat a mango or something

[Anonymous No.11314920]

I got fired from my job two days ago.
Since then I have just eaten chicken and dumplings soup (from a can) and real fruit popsicles. Sipping on some ginger ale. Reminds me of comfy times as a kid being too sick for school so getting to stay home wrapped up cozy on the couch.

Wow anon you sound like a cool REAL adult

It's probably not a good idea to try eating to make yourself feel good when your problems are clearly being caused by a wholly separate issue that should be addressed first

[Anonymous No.11314975]

I am most definitely not that, I don't even have a real job, but I have never seen the appeal of stuffing your face with chocolate when you're sad

[Anonymous No.11314979]

This is assuming whatever issue it is can be solved, or is in the persons control.
Sometimes a release from tension outside of our control is healthy.

[Anonymous No.11314986]

Yeah, sometimes, but I doubt "sometimes" is relevant to most posters here.

Comfort food doesn't mean eating a bunch of disgusting greasy food necessarily. It's just food that makes you feel good, like a good stew with homemade dumplings

>everyday is the same depressing day
>wake up, work, home, dinner, internet, sleep
>the same cycle for 5 years now
I don't think i felt 'happy' in the last 5 years, just cycle between sad, less sad and depressed. I had cinnamon donut once and it was nice.

Fair enough, mindless escapism is a heavy theme here certainly.

Yeah man like totally, we're so superior, fuck those sheeple, anarchy in the UK. It's like they don't see the point in enjoying themselves the way their brains tell them to, we need to like, like do something radical and extreme to make them change their brain chemistry

Ass and multiple bowls of lightly salted white rice.

Lots and lots of cool, refreshing vegetables. Cucumbers are good. Maybe roasted broccoli or brussels sprouts. It lets me stuff myself without going too hard on calories. You sate your fat craving but feel a little better about yourself because it's not 2000 calories of Taco Bell.

[Anonymous No.11315284]

Basically anything with a ton of fat. One of my faves is skillet fried bratwurst mixed in with buttery Mac and cheese. Alternately garlic sausage or ham fried up with onions and saurkraut. Tastes like my roots.

But ultimately the best comfy food is simple food.

Nothing special. Every day is a bad day.

I buy two pizzas. Have three pizzerias within two minutes walk from me and I switch it up between them, but I only do this a couple of times each month.

[Anonymous No.11315334]

I order pizza and drink a bottle of cheap wine.

[Anonymous No.11315380]

pasta (of almost any kind really, but ideally spaghetti)
dem cheap-ass instant ramen, with extra noodles and maybe some tuna
any kind of stew or soup
mashed potatoes with sausages
or I order some hamburger with fries/pizza

Whats cringe about memories of traditional family dinners informing your sense of comfort?

Naw. Memories informed by heritage I guess. So both.

Even if it was a mah heritage thing I personally wouldn't find that cringe. It's better to have a cultural identity than be a rootless bugman imo.

Stews, pot roast or braises with a side of buttery mashed potatoes are always comforting.

Wait til week 3 after being laid off and going on interview after interview waiting for a decent offer to come along. Trying to find ways to stay busy instead of drinking yourself silly due to boredom. Waking up in the middle of the night with anxiety how long will your funds last and how long until you are offered work.

When you fill out the job application and it wants you to list 3 non-family references what do you put down? I mean do the employment agencies just give you names to put down that will vouch for you if you don't have anyone to list?

I had a bad day and was going to come home to just eat some beans or something and instead made the curry I'd been wanting to make. Put me in a good mood.

Goldfish crackers and fruit punch.

I'm quite fond of the little lolly packs you get at convenience stores. Especially the lemons or feijoas.
Mostly because my grandad used to get use a little bag of them on the weekends. They were cozier times then.

Nothing, when I'm stressed out and feeling shitty I have no appetite and end up having to force down a couple bites of food to fend off the hunger pangs
