It’s not about the cooking, it’s the f*ck ton of dishwashing left.

        …

        i mean

        if you’ve had a depressive episode last long enough that you went to bed because you’re just so tired even though sleep won’t fix it and then you just lie there drifting in and out until you find enough willpower to check what time it is and it’s actually mid-evening next day yeah

        or if you’ve been busy and so distracted all day that you forgot to eat and then were so tired by the time you could finally sleep that you wake up and realize the last time you ate was lunch the day before yesterday

        these things DO happen to some people, but not necessarily everyone. maybe not you, but certainly to people you’ve known.

          I’ve had both of those things happen to me, (Depression and Anxiety is a powerful combination) I was trying to make a joke about thinking that everyone experiences it but then realizing that most people don’t experience it

    LPT.

    I have a five litre pot. Every once in a while, I’ll make a full pot full of chili/stew/soup, and then freeze it in pint containers. That way I always have something I can throw into the microwave. Another variation is cook a chicken on Sunday, then cut it up and put it in containers. You’ve got a week’s worth of chick to nibble on all week.

        The guy I learned about this from had five or six ‘all week’ recipes; meals he could make on Sunday and enjoy all week.

    If I buy ingredients for food, I just end up with a lot of spoiled ingredients. I just go buy food when I am hungry. If I buy ingredients to make stuff, I get them right before I am to cook them. Most of time, I get premade things (like sandwiches, soups, etc).

    Try microwaving some potatoes. They’re a pretty regular snack for me since it’s some of the lowest effort “cooking” you can do.
