[Anonymous No.9304214]

my depression fluctuates. so sometimes if I have energy I'll make some bread and just gnaw on that for a few days.
I tried to make beans for protein but they got overcooked because my roommates were in the kitchen and I didn't want to leave my room while they were out there as they might see my awful, messy room and hate me even more.

[Anonymous No.9304222]

>>9303226
you might be able to do better, but it's not a terrible snack; it's got protein for muscle and fat for energy without blood sugar funny business

it's "depression" food because it barely meets nutritional needs without putting in any effort

[Anonymous No.9306333]

>>9306125
getting burned out and having a lack of anxiety is worse than anxiety.

anxiety can get you out of bed and into the kitchen because eventually you start worrying that if you don't, you'll die for sure.

complete apathy and you won't even care to eat food right in front of you while starving to death

The last time i overdid xanax i robotically worked for 8 hours on a project because it was just my task. I'm sure if you did xanax after setting out to do what your anxiety drives you to do is probably fine, although i wouldn't suggest it.

Quick and painless would be helium AFAIK though I don't really recommend suicide per se. If you really don't care about living anymore why not try a dangerous hobby? Dangerous things tend to be decently cheap and fun.

https://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-the-pros-of-brown-rice-outweigh-the-cons-of-arsenic/

>So, bottom line, until we know more, my current thinking on the matter is: if you really like rice, you can moderate your risk by cutting down, choosing lower-arsenic varieties, and cooking it in a way to lower exposure even further. But, if you like other whole grains just as much—like if you simply don’t care either way if you have rice vs. quinoa, or whatever, I’d choose the lower-arsenic option.

Your microbiome will adapt and produce much less gas if you eat bananas and other whole plant foods regularly. Or maybe not. Some people just have fructose malabsorption.

Arsenic is a non-threshold carcinogen, that's why.

Sometimes the only memory that gets me by in life is remembering my bitch ass mother who made 1500 a month in child support and would buy bare minimum shit for my brothers and I while decking out the house with shit she wanted like treadmills and at home tanning stations that she wanted. Top quality foods for herself and great value price first stuff for us.

>Hungry at 3 am during summer vacation back in HS
>Ate the last of the peanut butter earlier in the day

canned spaghetti on toast with grated cheese and ham.

You use the ends of a loaf of bread because they are typically thicker and can withstand absorbing some of the sauce, you toast it whilst nuking/heating up the spaghetti on the stove, then butter it asap and make sure spaghetti is very hot, then dump it on top of ham and cheese covered toast, and it creates this melted cheesy mix thats very filling and probably close to 800-900 calories.
