ALSO the problem with hospitality + customer service + other similar jobs which require prolonged physical exertion is that i'll have some nice little leftover chicken soup or veg stir fry or something in the fridge for when i finish work. only once i've gotten off a ten hour shift running around on my bastard feet the entire time except for when they let me sit down like five hours ago to eat a shitty little sandwich the only phrase my goblin brain can conjure up is Want Borger

see I often get conflicted because yes, I do want to watch things that will ultimately help myself, especially with an issue I have that I’m highly aware of. But also that fear of having the issue fixed is always there, and the issue is so convenient that I don’t wanna get rid of it, so,,,,, augh
#my rambles#this isn’t coherent bc I’m tired. sorry#but just. mmrggrb#related to the last reblog#I’m aware I have food issues that are not healthy. i shouldn’t be waiting until past 5pm to eat something#but…. it’s just easier#i rarely get lunch breaks at work. i don’t wake up early enough to get breakfast in the mornings. reminding myself that it isn’t healthy#just makes me feel like shit bc I feel like I can’t fix it#which isn’t true. i could.#but…. augh. again with the convienience. it’s EASIER to wait that long instead of waking up earlier. or preparing a lunch to take with me#and it’s cheaper too. i can eat whatever I can scrounge up at home after work instead of going out for food I can’t afford#I don’t know… I’m just complaining right now I guess#the last post just reminded of it is all#it may be one of the reasons I haven’t watched it yet despite my friends telling me to is all#ignore me#I’m happy for the people it’s helping. I’m just scared to be one of them

aaghh I hate health anxiety ocd (or whatever you call it), it's literally doing nothing other than contributing to make my health worse
... wait actually, does anyone have like, tips/advice for that kind of thing? I really think I need some help with this one
#i (ai)#ocd#vent cw#I also have like severe decision paralysis + procrastination issues so that's great#like. being so scared that i have to choose for something to eat that is nutritious&healthy AND affordable AND eatable#that i delay my eating by many hours every other day (+ combined with many other reasons like general awful schedule)#is not in fact the amazing health plan my instincts apparently think it is for some baffling reason. fucking hell#I consistently have all sorts of digestive system issues and I'm plenty underweight. tbh my adhd meds prob also dont help with this part#....on that note I have severe anxiety with spending money (which I have very little of) too. lmao. just great#during the lockdown years my contamination ocd spiked very badly and it still hadn't fully recovered now#and it was/is really godawful harmful for my physical and mental health alike. like this was worse before but even now it really screws wit#my hydration habits. also its always my top consideration/anxiety to think about 'god would the toilet hygiene be bad'#whenever theres any option for me to go anywhere. so I avoided nearly every possible activity/event/social event I could avoid#that require leaving home for half a day or more. and I freak out badly whenever anyone comes to our home to visit for fear of contaminatio#some family friends used to send kids over to our place for dinner montly-ish & that was always my worst anxiety source for the month#I always dreaded the night terribly and it was awful experience. urgh.#gdi I wish I had less types of ocds like why am I cursed with so many annoying things at once lmao#...anyway ugh. i hate how my parents is about me getting sick/ill/any sort of pains etc. always jump to blame me at once#now I don't even want to tell them about it but I have to and they'll often force me to do chores as usual and/or never stop talking about#how it's so totally my fault for having awful schedules and bad habits etc that I'm sick & that I'm making excuses or whatever the fuck#that i'm an adult its my responsibility etc etc#anyway sorry and thank you if you've read this far lmao

whenever i have absolutely nothing going on and don’t need to be anywhere or do anything, everyone around me is perfectly healthy but when i have huge things that i absolutely cannot afford to miss then half my family gets sick at once with different diseases
#WHY ARE THEY SICK ALL THE TIME BUT SPECIFICALLY ONLY WHEN I DESPERATELY NEED TO STAY HEALTHY#i’m gonna start killing. i have a big thing on friday and a concert next week and a tattoo coming up and i need to be okay for all of those#and i’m running things at the community house for two weeks straight. i cannot afford to be out of commission for even a few days.#& nobody gets it. for me being sick is not just unfortunate it is literally hell on earth. the worst possible thing that could happen to me#i’d rather break a bone or sprain my ankle or have an ibs flare or crash my car. literally anything else#AND DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON OTHER TYPES OF ILLNESS. I WILL KILL EVERYONE IN THIS HOUSE AND THEN MYSELF.#tell me. why. when i was living with 4 roommates in a cramped apartment for 4 years. i only got sick twice.#but living with my family. for 9 months. i have gotten sick 4 times. and most times it was directly traceable to someone else in the house.#i am filled with such unspeakable violence i need to leave i need to leave i need to leave#GUESS IM NOT GONNA EAT FOR A WEEK BECAUSE GOD FORBID I INTRODUCE A PATHOGEN INTO MY SYSTEM#<- i know this is not how it works but that is how my brain has rationalized it for decades

#jackals barks#like straight up didn't give her a script for pain meds (luckily our pcp was able 2 refill hers)#and was A Bitch about momthers diet (implying she was lying about eating healthy) and getting onto her for not working out#which like hey. come here. look me in my eyeballs. right in em#you have the little computer that tells you how bad her arthritis is yes? and the fact her spine is Yknow. Crumbling? you have that lil guy#tellin you this. Tell Me How She Is Meant To Exercise In A Way That Is Both Healthy And Safe :)#ANYWAYS. hmfj. momther is still Uncomfortable bc unfortunately her issue is. y'know. chronic#but the meds got it down to a Reasonable level and b4 they hyper focused on the diabetes they were gonna get her in touch with like#All Of The Flesh Wizards? like. spine dude. pt. pain clinic etc. (we're both kinda like 😬 at each other tho bc Cant Really. Afford That)

This apartment houses me, my cat, my ghostly ancestors who are perpetually disappointed in me, my demons that haunt me and my brain.
#And I think we deserve a bigger fridge and a decent freezer#And a functional dishwasher#My tiny shitty kitchen is driving me insane on the daily send help#Half my kitchen utensils and 99 percent of my cutlery are in the basement#And my psychiatrist told me to eat more healthy because my blood test results were bad#Woman HOW#I can't do shit with ADHD and a tiny feezing compartment in my fridge#Meal prepping and freezing isn't an option#If you want me to eat healthy get me freezer and more than fucking Bürgergeld it's not meant to let you afford a healthy lifestyle#Until then I will continue to live off of instant ramen and to go foods#actually adhd#adhd things#neurodivergent

if anyone has recs for good youtube tutorial/education channels about cooking for people who are Absolutely Hopeless let me know. for reference: did worse than 96% of people on that buzzfeed vegetable test, do not understand cooking terms (like sautee, stir fry, simmer, etc), don't know how to differentiate between knives or other utensils, don't know how to chop vegetables or even hold a knife properly, etc. the things i CAN do are 1) boil water 2) boil pasta 3) boil rice 4) make box brownies.
basically i need a hand-holding tutorial for someone who has never stepped foot in a kitchen before. like so simplified it borders on condescending. and many tutorials seem to assume a baseline of knowledge that i..... do not.... possess.
#i also fucking hate cooking because it feels like an exhausting waste of time but#i'm no longer healthy enough to just eat doritos and lunch meat n call it a night#this happens to everyone when they get older but i have some extra restrictions due to all the autoimmune inflammation#so like. it's Really Goddamn Important that i get over it and take some initiative in helping myself#i figure maybe once i have enough of a baseline to stop feeling stupid then maybe i'll hate cooking less#i can't keep relying on rafi and vi to make meals it's unfair to them when we all have chronic pain#and we can't afford to eat out all the time obviously. so.#anyway. goin to the pool now but. drop ur recs in the replies or my inbox#food

I'm going to draw wktd fanart (to cope with a highly specific situation) while I still have the time for it (looming employment) and that is a promise to myself (I probably have something else I said I'd work on but whatever)
#I strt at the end of the month and I'm#I'm not even gonna say I'm scared I'm not I'm just not quite excited either? I'll pull through#and hopefully eat better and be able to buy fun things thaNK FUCK#however also taxes. I am not looking forward to taxes#like it's literally an ideal position if I don't manage it for whatever reason that'll be uh. something big for me to find out limits wise#but it's whatever I'm curious and I gotta try#and like I said god I'll be so happy to be able to afford hyper specific autism approved food that's gonna make everything so much easier#oh also the hyper specific situation? don't worry about it. just know I'm going to cry into whatever I draw for that game atm#I mentioned it in the post I made about it these days I literally skimmed through lines of one of the endings and immediately cried a single#Annoying tear. I feel like I don't cry about life things as much as would be healthy to and when I do I don't cry right#so I just get so annoyed at these sudden single tear moments when I'm not even putting effort into anything they just leak out#because something on a screen hit too close to home in an instant but I can't even properly Feel it because I'm focused on something else#and the thing in question has well been Acknowledged and rendered Irrelevant#it's not satisfying like crying for being engrossed on a story and/or characters and I absolutely hate how idk picturesque? it feels#people criticize drawing crying with a pretty single tear all the time it feels so fake and forced to fit the medium in a way that's still#appealing and consumable but I'm just a person with depersonalization issues. reverse derealization. everything's real except me#anyways I wasn't spiraling I will continue to not spiral about that at this moment but that's constantly there in my brain#and I'm going to draw the body horror lesbian polycule about it#Void fala aí#oh yeah I promised field sib content uh I can easily do that as a warm-up on a work day obviously pfft#''end of the month'' she's so pretentious you mean next week

Me? Being political on main? It’s more likely than you think! (!!political post!!)
Listen. I know people might disagree and I know no one asked for my opinion, but on this I’m giving it because I think it’s something that more people should be talking about. At least enough of us to get it noticed.
Make healthier foods the cheaper option. I’m someone who likes to eat healthy, I like to take care of the body I was given. But as someone who is going to school full time, eating healthy is really hard financially. It can he very stressful.
People talk all of the time about “the problem of obesity” and how no one really “takes care of themselves anymore” (you’re beautiful/handsome no matter what you look like and don’t let them tell you otherwise, it’s what’s on the inside that matters the most) but they’re not making it easier for people to get foods that are actually beneficial to them, and provide them with basic nutrients we need in order to keep us as healthy as possible.
You want a healthier population? Make healthy foods the cheaper option.
Eating healthy should not be a luxury reserved only for the upper crust of society.
#ktfatl gets political#Lucie speaks#politics#seriously though#health#healthy eating#most people eat junk food primarily because it is THE ONLY AFFORDABLE OPTION FOR MOST OF THE POPULATION.

Hi clari:)))) are you a fan of cooking? I’m trying to cook more so I’ll stop eating frozen tv dinners all the time but I don’t think cooking is very fun
hello c: i am a fan of cooking! though i eat quite simple so i don't really make like, super elaborate or complex meals. i like baking better than i like cooking (especially if i'm baking for someone because i think receiving something made with love by hand is one of the most special things! <3) but i do enjoy cooking as well. this sounds cliche and probably kind of silly BUT to me, there really is something so lovely about working hard and making yourself a good meal to sit down and enjoy; i think that's a really awesome feeling and one of those small moments to cherish! i'm not sure if that'll help you find more motivation to cook, but it's one of the things that motivates me to cook and makes it rewarding n worth it!
#we also eat seasonal and use ingredients from our family garden and i think that plays a role as well#it's really rewarding to grow something yourself and then get to eat it!#idk i can't explain it well HAHAHA but hopefully it makes sense and you get what i'm trying to say#i am also very health conscious and like to fuel and nurture my body with homemade healthy food so that plays a huge role as well#but i acknowledge that i'm also extremely lucky to have access to organically grown food#anyway i am rambling on and on#either way those are kind of the two big things that keep me motivated to cook! and that it's cheaper for me than eating out AHAHA#if i could afford it i'd probably be eating sushi everyday so there's that >.<#i hope u can find something of use in this ramble answer tho!#i wish u luck on ur cooking journey sweetpea <33#have a fabulous weekend and pls stay safe!!#inky.bb#clari gets mail

It does blow my mind that I somehow managed to adhere to an insanely quick update schedule when I was fuckin homeless and couch surfing than I do now when I have a secure address lmao.
I’m not kidding when I say writing kept me sane last year - dead ass just pretended none of it was going on, buried my head in the sand, and wrote a lot of Noz thirst.
#also lost like 15 lbs just by going ham with workouts and healthy eating too#2022 lucy was a different breed I’m kinda scared of her#although that last part was helped by the fact that I couldn’t afford to eat every day of the week so uh
