We live in a society that treats Stress Eating as a bigger problem than living in a society that causes you so much constant stress that you require such an outlet to begin with.

Maybe we're blaming the wrong thing here.

And since I'm guessing you personally can't solve all the ills of our dystopia, why do you think you should deprive yourself of the thing that's helping you cope with it?

Is the eating actually hurting you? Or were you just taught to feel guilty about eating things?

Anything we can cope with can become maladaptive, but that doesn't mean it's inherently maladaptive. If eating is helping you cope with a situation you cannot otherwise control, that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

hey hi hello

I know we've all got a lot going on but me and my partner have found ourselves in a rly tight spot and could use some help

January was hell and I lost my job unexpectedly so I won't be getting much if any of a paycheck, and we found out today that my partners check is gonna be significantly less than we expected. Pretty much all of his paycheck is going towards rent and bills we gotta take care of immediately, but that's gonna leave us w/ next to nothing for groceries, gas and medical visits/medication. We've already had to put off paying rent and our phone bill, have used both our borrows on c4shapp, and have pawned almost all our electronics trying to cover last months expenses, so we don't have a lotta options left

I'm trying to get enough to cover some groceries and gas, so if anyone can throw smth our way I'd be extremely grateful

NOTHING makes me happier than when total strangers are possessed by the need to Give Hugo Something. like yes he gets a treat when we're at petsmart or something. but now. we can add "an entire bag of cinnamon twists at the taco bell drive-thru" to the list of things Hugo has been Given.

me when I'm at a loss for what to do with my life

[yoccu]

I’m starting to think I might be more reactive to apples than I want to be. Either that or this mouth sore is extra bad from stress. Either way, it is painful and sucks.

[oceanpullsmeclose]

me: i wonder why i'm so fatigued all the time?

[deceit-and-knowledge]

Very much so.

Perhaps you should make a list of foods you like? How does a pasta salad sound? A dish you can mix and match to your own taste. Healthy as well. A quick way to get a lot of needed greens in, without it being too boring. You can even add apple slices and pomegranate seeds to sweeten it. - Umbrella Anon

s: that list would have only 10 things on it..

Ughh..

..mm..*shakes head* ....ugh..i feel ill..

[horse-heaven]
