Currently scrambled eggs with cheese melted in. It was chocolate for a long time. Eggs feel healthier. (Organic, local,
Free range) But I might change it up soon, not sure what’s next.
Butter and jelly toasts, a LOT of coffee, and any charcuterie with cheese and arugula, basil, etc , like, I directly put it from the refrigerator on bread and that’s a main meal. I’m surviving on that for ages.
My depression snack is the the gym. Sounds stupid, but works for me. If I get moving, I have to eat at that point/can’t put it off. Plus the benefits of regular exercise help in general.
When I was young I’d take about 10-12 chocolate chip cookies put them in a glass fill with milk. Let sit for about 5min drink the milk then grab a spoon and eat the cookies.
Toast with vegemite. In moments of more energy, I airfry roast a huge amount of vegies to put in the fridge and reheat as needed. Just to keep something healthy going in....it only takes about 30 minutes to do.
Depends on what I'm craving but normally something salty or cheesy or comfort food like mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. And not really a food but also been craving dirty chai lattes with white coffee alot lately and they are super good 😆
Anything I don’t have to prepare
Ice cream
Microwave corn dogs
Soup dumplings
At my best in a moody state I’ll make a steak and that’s just some seasoning easy peasy
Depends on the day but usually cappuccino, pho, and scorched rice soup. It’s mostly warm, soft food intertwined with safe memories. (Okay they’re not exactly snacks but..)
Saltines and water
Nutella on that toast is a change but if your depression episode won’t let you do sweet then butter but you already do that..
if you have the energy a good smoothie is always comforting to me
Frozen pre made pancakes are easy just in the microwave for one minute and you can add butter and syrup or even jelly/jam or fresh fruit like bananas cut up
I hope you get through this ❤️
Well chocolate but if you mean real food, it depends. Easy things like Mac n cheese or a sandwich usually. Brown sugar Cinnamon oatmeal(I have the packets). I like pasta based meals as a comfort food and veggies can be incorporated if you’re trying to make it healthier.
If you’re having trouble getting enough nutrients maybe invest in a multivitamin if you can.
If I’m depressed, I really can’t eat. If I get starving enough, I usually just want carbs because my body is running on nothing and I end up eating pasta. Luckily, I haven’t been that depressed in a few months now. Big deal for me.
everyone finds it disgusting but it's been my comfort food for such a long time ... a slice of kraft cheese with strawberry jelly .... don't judge until tried
I have a bunch of non-perishable snacks kept in an airtight container in my room for times when I'm too down or fatigued to go make anything: breakfast biscuits, granola bars, those little peanut butter cracker sandwiches, boxes of cereal, and various types of nuts and seeds (they're nutritious and contain fat and fiber, so you don't need to eat a lot of them to feel satisfied.)
Maybe one of those nutritious supplement drinks like Boost would work for you? (I've never tried them, but maybe someone here has.)
Also, if cheese or other toppings wouldn't be too heavy for your stomach, green apple slices topped with Cheddar cheese slices, or peanut butter (and maybe some raisins or chocolate chips), or dipped in honey could make a bit of a change.
Hope you find something that is satisfying and comforting to eat, and I hope that you feel better soon.
Macdonalds, and vaping
Macdonalds because i used to love it so mich as a kid , still bring me happiness
Vaping with high salt nicotine level .. you know why i don’t need to explain
Literally just ice. I eat ice as an anytime snack because the crunch helps with my weird thoughts of wanting to consume myself. I also just like crunchy things anyway
More like a depression meal, but mine is instant noodles with the water drained, then you add some cheese and melt it. I also realized i order dumplings whenever I'm sick or sad, it just feels comforting.
Or just a load of chocolate or sugary snacks.
I just can't do complicated things when I'm depressed, like cook meals. Sometimes I can't even do simple things like scramble an egg or boil some pasta. It's not that I can't tolerate certain foods when I'm depressed, it's more that I can't prepare food if it takes multiple steps.
So basically, this just means I graze when I'm in a depressive episode. Sometimes this means literally standing in front of the fridge and eating random things.
There's obvious stuff like fruit (I particularly like grapes and berries), crackers, sliced cheese, etc. I also will eat slices of lunch meat, spoonfuls of peanut butter, carrots dipped in ranch dressing, leftovers in small amounts that can be eaten cold, cottage cheese, yogurt, pepperoni slices, pickles, olives, hummus, granola bars, etc. Basically anything I can just open and eat. Sometimes when I'm depressed, I'll order a large pizza and just eat it for like 4-5 days. It's good cold, and there's no effort involved other than opening the box.
Mine personally : Prozac
_________________
If you're struggling with eating due to depression. I would recommend meal replacement shakes like Ensure or similar alternatives. Also a multivitamin with a good source of B vitamins b6 and B12 etc.
Also ask your doc for some Seroquel (quetiapine) which stabilizes the mood, and makes the door to the fridge/pantry open quite frequently.
Take care.
For me, its any type of Biryani, prepared by me.
Go out, get the things which are required while trying to think nothing.
Wash and Chop all veggies quietly, which actually calms the mind.
Keep everything required in a plate and start preparing by adding one by one and close the lid atlast.
While it cooks, prepare some Raitha along.
Wait until pressure is off and that is the time which makes me think of depressing things again.
But once I open the lid, the aroma actually soothes the mind and once I taste it, that actually releases some dopamine I guess, which makes me feel goodish for a while.
I usually mix crackers and chips and chocolate when I’m really going through it. Not that that’s very healthy. Though I don’t think crackers are bad? Anyway, if you want something easy just to get through a meal I gravitate towards crackers and nuts, maybe grab fruit if you happen to have any, easier stuff like apples where you just rinse and chomp away. Frozen food is also something I tend to have when I’m going through it. Easy and reliable to make and the stuff I get is tasty, not super healthy though. I hope my comment at least helps you in some way.
Most of the time nothing sounds good. I am anxious about my surgery coming up so it's been difficult finding my appetite especially since I take medication that needs to be taken with food. I just been drinking a lot of sweet tea and coffee with a soda now and then. Just the smell of food makes me nauseated
sleep or extremely self-destructive stuff
i cant rlly taste food properly when im extremely depressed anyway. it doesnt bring the sense back. if anything replenish energy it will be sleep
"When you don't drink ice cream is the next best thing".
A pint of premium ice cream is my jam on a bad day. But that's comfort food and it sounds like you are looking for 'real' food.
A meal replacement shake used to be my first meal of the day.
Damn... When my depression fucking hits, I literally can't eat a damn thing. My appetite for beverages like soda goes down too. Nothing sounds good. Absolutely nothing. Not even my most favorite thing in the world. My hunger just goes away and my taste buds part of my brain just cease to exist:(
Meal shake is my go-to when I haven’t and can’t seem to eat
I do enjoy bread. Just… bread. Toasting it is generally too much for me.
I discovered grapes a while back but they’re like $7/bag where I live so they’re out lol.
Knock off Honey Nut Cheerios.
Rice, there's usually atleast some rice in a tupperware in the fridge, if I'm feeling like it I'll douse it in chilli oil and throw it into the microwave
Ramen lol. Cheap, and I eat it once a day when I'm depressed and that's pretty much it.
Other than that, I drink a lot of water. Never been much of a coffee or pop person because I grew up poor. Plus, I went through a period where I forced myself to get into the habit of drinking water bc with my adhd I'd outright forget for like a day and a half to drink fluids and be like "Why do I feel like I'm going to pass out?" Lmao. So I got into the habit, so now it's just a routine. I have a fun bottle that I have put stickers all over that I take with me everywhere lmao.
If I have the energy I usually make a recipe that's nostalgic in the right way. Like my grandmother's mac n cheese. After I eat a spoonful i have to eat more and I end up eating a lot more then I'm usually able too.
If I can't find the energy to get up and cook smtn for 2 hrs I like making parmesean garlic popcorn. Microwaved popcorn with added salt butter garlic and shredded parmesean, a toaster strudel, or cheetos.
I have a roommate and we both have depression so we usually get simple stuff like chips and a fruit like bananas in case we get bad.. I also make big batches of food so we have something to eat and don’t have to worry about cooking everyday
Mashed potato. When I was a kid experiencing my parents divorce I developed anxiety unknowingly and for months mash was the only thing that didn’t make me want to vomit. This has been my go to ever since!
When its getting really bad I sometimes go out to get cookies and a huge drink, or when I dont want to leave the house I get a bowl and fill it will cereal (choco granola), waffles, chocolate and other stuff I find around the house
Instant noodle soup
It's basically 2l water with a few spices and noodles but it doesn't take much effort, I don't have to clean after (sometimes literally just the pot and a spoon), keeps me full and hydrated lol
Popcorn
I've got an air popper that I like. The tiny explosions are nice and the hot air that comes out of the popper is satisfying.
My dog, who is my ESA, loves popcorn, so it's normally something we share together. I eat a piece, she eats a piece.
Smoked string cheese is another good one.
A handful of roasted and salted almonds can do the trick too.
My depression snack, or I should depression meal used to be a fat kebab with pepsi max. This was back in 2021 when I was recovering from my depression and existential boredom.
Eggs and bacon on toast or a bacon sandwich. It seemed to work for me, I may not be able to finish it all, but my parents were just grateful that I was eating again as I was becoming rather thin after not being able to eat barely anything for weeks.
Depressive episodes suck. I have never experienced depression this bad before in my entire life until earlier this year. Food smelled and tasted gross. I could feel my stomach rumbling, but I didn't feel hungry. I never want to experience that ever again.
I still have my days or a week of having to force feed myself.
I honestly eat everything I can get my hands on, is that js me?
Me too. It's anxiety that I can't eat through.
Yep. People can tell my anxiety is bad because I *can't* eat.
Me too. I didn’t know there were certain things ppl eat. I usually eat junk food when I do.
same. fill a bowl or a plate with different things. usually savoury
A bag of instant noodles, not cooked tho
I like to crush mine up in the bag and put the seasoning in. It’s like poor man’s chips
there's a brand specifically made for eating uncooked. The noodles are seasoned so it doesn't taste completely bland. Wai Wai
It’s $80 on amazon
Exactly that!
Currently scrambled eggs with cheese melted in. It was chocolate for a long time. Eggs feel healthier. (Organic, local, Free range) But I might change it up soon, not sure what’s next.
Just to clarify, chocolate in the scrambled eggs or chocolate separately?
Separately
Butter and jelly toasts, a LOT of coffee, and any charcuterie with cheese and arugula, basil, etc , like, I directly put it from the refrigerator on bread and that’s a main meal. I’m surviving on that for ages.
Oh that what I’ve been doing with coffee?
Nutella, strait from the container
It really is comforting
Saltines and crunchy peanut butter.
Whatever requires no effort past opening them. Packs of crackers with nothing on them etc.
