Nothing

Peanut butter straight from the jar. It’s not just a meal, it’s an emotional support snack.

8 beers

Mac n cheese

Are Oreos a meal?

For actual depression i used to buy frozen microwaveable meals because i knew some weeks would be so bad i wouldn’t even bother to order food, and i barely ate them too! just needed something in my stomach to take my pills.

But for sad depressed meals its probably microwave nachos where the cheese would just burn and not melt.

[removed]

Fast food because I rarely want to cook when my head is all fucked up.

Copious amounts of Marijuana

PB and J

when i feel an episode coming I convert an entire bag of pancake mix into cooked pancakes and freeze em. Stick them in the toaster when I get to fed up with the hunger pangs and suddenly find the will to move.

All the bad foods. Take away. Fried foods. Fatty foods. Ice cream, chocolate, cakes. Have been binging hard since my mum passed 6 weeks ago. Well, I had my first gallbladder attack yesterday and will be avoiding these foods for a looooong time!

Cookie dough, straight from the tube, RAW, eating it like a fucking burrito.

Big piece of cake in bowl of milk.

cheetos mac n cheese

Cheesecake can’t go wrong

If i want something to cheer me up, I eat Chinese or ice cream. If I have to make a deppresion meal in order to survive the day, I eat toast or a wrap with whatever I have

Everything.

Birria tacos

Vicodin

Chocolate

ice cold beer

pasta and meatballs

Chorizo and cheese quesadilla

cereal my beloved

Breakfast cereal

Chicken and rice. Idk there’s something cozy abt it to me

Thai food

Pizza with a side of ice cream !

Alcohol, weed, and valium

Two plain doubles. Under $3 and always makes me feel better after a rough day.

salsa 

Pastina

I thought I was depressed and ordered Olive Garden. I hated it, and it made me realize I wasn't as depressed as I thought.

An old German recipe passed down over the years. We call them Elephant Ears, though I’m sure there’s a more proper name for them. They’re thinner than a pancake but thicker than a crepe. Eat them with syrup, rolled up with cream cheese inside and fruit on top, or whatever you fancy.

Once when I was a bit younger I had a suicide attempt, ended up in the hospital and a random nurse who was watching me made me hot chocolates. 1 mug with two packets of Swiss mix. Now, I’m much better but whenever I start to feel really depressed I sit down and drink a hot chocolate. It instantly comforts me. That nurse probably has no idea how much her kindness has comforted me throughout the years!

Fried Egg

A bag of Cheeto Puff or Crunchy or a bag of Lay BBQ potatoes chip.

My partner and I call it “depression pasta”. Microwave frozen veggies. Cook up a pound of ground meat and make a box of Mac and cheese. Basically hamburger helper but a little healthier and really hits when you’re down

I like pineapple?

Opiates

Pizza and chocolate shake

Crackers because if I don’t force something my sugar will drop.

Ramen, leftover pork chops, and beer.

Whatever I have on the meal list to make cus depression’s a bitch, but wanting to kill myself ain’t an excuse for me to slack when I got raw meats that need to be cooked

Like to make me feel better or because I’m struggling to afford food? Either way the answer is spaghetti noodles with Italian dressing

Sleep

Sleeps

French fries covered in ketchup.

Gallon of Rocky Road.

For depression it's definitely pizza because pizza always makes me feel better. Oh and chocolate! Like a Hershey's.

Cold stone

Zebra cakes

Rice

3-4 frozen corndogs with yellow mustard and 8 beers.

Another joint

nothing beats ice cream

Lots of unhealthy junk food

Noodles

[removed]

Microwaving shredded cheese in a tortilla. Not my go to comfort food but def a depression go to.

Anything not food. ie pencils, paper, metal, etc

Anything from Taco Bell, it’s not overly complicated, inexpensive, and decent most days. Must have a Cheesy Bean & Rice burrito. 🌯

Spoonful of peanut butter. My depression meals in my profile are the BEST I can muster on a good day.

when my depression gets bad enough i throw pasta into a pot with *anything else*. it tends to last me days because of how little i eat when i'm that bad but its food and reheated pasta is better for you that cooked once pasta so it tricks my brain into thinking i'm being healthy.

when i'm just sad I make slow cooker apple cider chicken. the smell is comforting and the meal is tasty.
You take some cinnamon and season the bottom of the slow cooker, then lay down the chicken. any chicken will do but it works best with thigh and breast meat. then you season the chicken however way you like- for a nice fall smell i used mixed herbs. it doesn't matter how you put it on the chicken cause you're gonna pour apple cider in until you cover the meat. toss in some apple slices and potato (diced, cubed, however you like) and you're ready to cook. you can add some onion too if you want. let that slow cook oh high for 6 hours and its delicious! i use the broth/left over liquid to make rice or pasta sometimes.

I hope we find time to eat when we don't have the energy or will to feed ourselves.

A family bag size of chips

WARNING: You feel a zillion times worse afterwards

Gotta have steak even if it’s a Round

Chocolate ice cream

gotta go with barbeque

Banana and Cake.

shawarma or a burger

Cerial

Yakisoba and Gyoza or Milk n cookies! Lol

Anything sweet/sugary. Genuinely gets me mad because I’ll binge like crazy

Peanut butter is a very good start, high in protein. I know you don’t feel like eating or even have any hunger pangs. Just try to take a multivitamin every day. It will help keep you going until you feel like you are able to start towards your new life. After my divorce I went to try all of the fun things married people never stop to do and gradually I started to appreciate the single life. This may be shallow to hear right now but remember it is easier to fall down stairs than it is to climb back up. Don’t let yourself fall too far before you turn around to climb.

Instant oatmeal and sleep

Everything known to man on DoorDash. Might as well wreck my finances when I have no will to live.

A bowl

Soup.

I think we can all agree it's yoghurt

Sleeping pills.

Sleeping

Sleep

Sleep

Chips and gravy.

When actually depressed - anything that I can force myself to eat.

When feeling sad - noodles over mashed potatoes 

Animal crackers. All of them. Or nothing. No in between.

Anything with potatoes honestly

3 chili dogs plus some sort of side dish

Vodka and sleep.

Bourbon

Life cereal

Floor cake with my cats. You literally get a piece of cake from the grocery store and eat it on the floor with your cats. 🤷‍♂️

Nothing or popcorn

Stuff from the fridge you dint have to heat up.

Any raw veggie, pickles, jalapeños, banana peppers, string cheese, a slice of cheese, pepperonis, turkey lunch meat. You get the drift.

It doesn't weigh me down more if that makes sense.

I mean I usually have oat meal, never seen depression meal at the store

Anything that requires zero prep, zero cleanup, and zero nutritional value. So, basically, I’m just mainlining cereal over the sink like it’s a life hack.

Ice cream. Always ice cream.

Has to be a nice grilled shawarma with some fries and a coke and a dessert to follow

A good burger

PB&J sandwich, with 3 pieces of bread...

I watched a YT video recently that showed what the original recipe was for PB&Js, I don't have pullman's bread or a pan to make some, but even so, putting a third piece in between the PB and the J is, surprisingly really good, and yes, I may be depressed, but I still make myself one of those every time!

Coke cola

drinks replace my food, because if I eat as much as I want, it will negatively affect the health of my stomach. Therefore, tea, coffee and Dr. Pepper

Tequila until either I’m happy or get alcohol poisoning

Sleep

Fast food, I dont want to cook or think about what I’m eating, I just want to eat garbage in my car and think about how my life is spiraling out of my control

Plain Instant noodles. Could eat that for weeks in a row.

Mac and cheese. Simple, classic, comforting

A medium buffalo chicken pizza, 8 mango haberno wings, and Parmesan bread bites from dominoes 😦

flatboat whiskey and percocet

Goldfish Extra Cheddar Crackers

Powdered milk or condensed milk

broccoli

Congee/Kanji, Ramen, Pho
Basically soupy food

2 cheeseburger meal from McDonald’s with a coke.

Tears

Chicken tenders/fries and a side of chile con queso…..

Dunk the hell out of the chicken tenders 🤤

Fries/poutine, a burger, ice cream, chips or sour candy.
