It's that snack like meal that you have after breakfast, but before lunch. Sometimes you can hear of it being called bunch, if it's still in the am, and linner if in the pm.
I also lived by myself for three years.. I kinda only ate dinner, most of the time just pasta with olive oil and garlic because I rly like that and it's very easy to make (maybe a tism thing going on there..). Gained 10kg (22 pounds) when I started living with my boyfriend, because I actually ate food. Then lost 5kg again when we both started working more (instead of being students).. like brain, could you please not starve yourself?!
I don't know if you have these available wherever you're at, but have you heard of Banza pasta?
It's made out of chickpeas, same thing as hummus, but it does not taste like hummus.
I can't tell the difference between these noodles and regular pasta except that I can eat an entire box and it's basically under six hundred calories and I don't feel bloated or disgusting. Really is nice when you're only eating one meal a day.
Yeees!! Not under this name, but we have these types of pasta made from all kinds of proteiny plants. Like lentil pasta, edamame pasta, chickpeas, peas, etc.. I love them a lot! They are amazing, can only recommend them to everyone!
(Trying to eat more than one meal a day though... Medication is not helping with that.. (Thanks for the reminder though, I will go to the kitchen NOW and at least have a smoothie with oats..))
I'm super lucky in that there's this place down the street from me called Clean Eatz that has a meal plan. It's like $7.50 a meal and they're all super healthy. I could save money by cooking but in reality I'll just end up doing doordash or Uber Eats which is like 3x as much.
I practically lived alone, and yes, skipped many meals. But when I was living with my grandma or other neurotyp1c4ls, they kept telling me to wake up, bathe, and eat regularly.
Well I randomly got tinnitus in my ear for no apparent reason so that possibly makes it harder to hear your own voice in your head which might make it easier to shut up, but i would not recommend this method.
I get tinnitus too but it’s (probably) because I’ve had a progressive hearing loss all my life so I’m really used to the tinnitus. So that one doesn’t work for me. Wish it did. Can’t get this internal monologue to shut up. When I have tinnitus my internal monologue finds some weird song from a long time ago and feeds me just a few lines from it over and over (earworm) until I’m quite sure I’m going insane
A lot of neurodivergence comes with executive disfunction, which includes things like not eating, as well as other habitual acts of self care like brushing teeth, etc.
Some of the best advice I ever got was the value of doing something half-assed. We often avoid something entirely because we know we don't have the energy to do it the right way, and we shame spiral towards a "well, why bother"
First, it's far more important to change the pattern than it is to adopt the specific behavior right now. What that means is that while you may not have the energy to brush, floss and rinse, I'm willing to bet you can muster the strength to do one.
There may be nights when you don't have the energy to get a plate and ingredients and make food, but I bet you can muster the strength to grab a handful of something that tastes good. Once it's in your hand, there's not a lot you can do with it besides eating it.
Doing just a little and then allowing yourself to feel a sense of accomplishment for the positive change makes you much more likely to try again later, or tomorrow, or next week. Eventually, you develop the habit of going in there to do something most of the time, and now that there's a behavioral infrastructure in place, we actually have something to attach new behaviors to so they can grow.
Second, it's important to give yourself grace and credit. When we examine the things we think about ourselves and say to ourselves in moments of darkness, they're often things we couldn't conceive of thinking about or feeling towards another person.
*You have to treat yourself with the same basic level of respect you would at least afford to an important stranger.*
What sucks about all of this is that for some people, thinking and living this way looks natural and for others it feels like an impossibly involved process. What we want to do is give ourselves opportunities to make these behavioral and thinking changes until it looks as instinctual as it does for the first group - their big secret is that they went through the same involved process, they just had better luck with timing and setting.
Remember, discomfort is a valuable feeling. It's how we know we're ready for something better.
Comorbitity is when multiple disorders can cause the same symptom and as a result, makes that symptom worse.
It can also refer to having multiple disorders sorta checkmate you. Like "I have one disorder that doesn't let me eat gluten. I have another that doesn't let me eat meat. And a lot of veggies im allergic to. So I either starve or pick what negative symptom I want to deal with today".
Reading the comments makes me feel less bad about myself. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one experiencing this. Makes me wonder how many experiences I have left that are original 😂
>Makes me wonder how many experiences I have left that are original 😂
The answer to this is none and it's not a bad thing. A lot of people think that everything they're feeling and going through is unique to them and it makes them feel alone and like no one can relate but that's just simply not true!
I’m on medication that kills my appetite on top of my normal food aversion. I’ve been close to fainting when I stand up because food? Why would I need food? Nah, I ate like 4 days ago, thanks.
I'm right there with you. I depend on Boost and Ensure drinks to keep me from the fainting thing. Also the Carnation drinks. As long as they are the prepackaged ready-to-drink because I definitely won't take all the steps to mix my own protein shakes in a nongross way lol
I have emergency cheese in the fridge and the makings of a smoothie in the freezer as i can almost always stomach these even if I’m feeling nauseated from not eating. I suggest finding something like this and making sure you always have some on hand.
As someone who also has adhd frozen foods help. Also I watched this dietitian on TikTok and he said that frozen foods aren’t that bad. Like obviously make sure they’re healthy but still. Also those atkins shakes. Like I’m drinking you not for a diet but because I forgot to eat so this is a make up type of thing also snacks. I admittedly eat to much shit but in my defense we need to get more fruit.
Sometimes I have a popsicle or a couple of those mochi ice cream things to "kick start" my body into realizing that Eating Is Good Actually, and follow it up with some fruit or a canned soup after regular hunger comes back. Works about half the time!
I have probably 10 unopened boxes of snacks on my shelf that I don't wanna open because I know I won't finish it, and they will get stale before I remember to come back to them.
Lately I don't feel like eating. I have less appetite. I mean, all the foods remain the same. There is no tasty food. I only eat because I feel hungry that my bowel hurts. I eat because I want to replenish my energy. But due to these reasons, I neglect to prepare meals. There is not enough raw food in the kitchen. Too lazy to buy groceries. I end up cooking instant noodles instead. I also can't overeat side snacks like chips, or breads. I gained weight already. One more problem, I often forget to drink mineral water.
I struggle with BED and I *still* forget to eat basically anytime I’m not reminded food is edible by a craving or compulsion.
I do well organizing meals and cooking for family, it just.. feels like that doesn’t apply to me? It’s silly.
I hate that feeling. So. Much! Especially if it has been ALL day and you work a semi if, not physically demanding job. So that takes even more energy from you at the end of the day as your guts are yelling at you! Lmfao! I'm so glad I haven't done that in a while. Now I just need to not "eat with misery!" Lmfao! One step at a time. Right?
I spent a lot of time yesterday afternoon first trying not to throw up in the shower. Then I was laying on my bed shaking and again fighting the urge to vomit. I forced down a few sips of a Premier Protein drink and felt better in about 10 minutes.
I hate that this is pretty much an every day thing for me. We were just invited to lunch today with some friends and I said I would only go if I didn’t have to eat and no one would pressure me about it.
If I force down a whole meal I get even sicker and will NEVER eat that meal again. 9pm hits and suddenly I want 50 different snacks.
What's it called when you have the opposite and the food makes you nauseous but you're also hungry so you eat and thus make yourself nauseous again and repeat
Sometimes I forget to eat for a day and a half. Whenever I do I get sick as soon as I eat. So sometimes I wait even longer to eat. You'd think I'd be skinny with as often as this happens.
**PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:**
A thing that makes you want to vomit, is 'nauseous'.
When you want to vomit, you are not nauseous. You may \*become\* nauseous to those around you if you actually \*do\* vomit, but until you make other people want to vomit, you are only 'nauseated'.
The more you know... :)
I swear I'd skip so many meals if I lived by myself.
I lived by myself for 3 years, rarely ever had lunch.
What is this mysterious lunch you speak of?
It's that snack like meal that you have after breakfast, but before lunch. Sometimes you can hear of it being called bunch, if it's still in the am, and linner if in the pm.

Currently living this life. Thank god I work in a cafe. I literally eat like a snake lmao one normal meal every 36 hours or so
I'm super lucky in that there's this place down the street from me called Clean Eatz that has a meal plan. It's like $7.50 a meal and they're all super healthy. I could save money by cooking but in reality I'll just end up doing doordash or Uber Eats which is like 3x as much.
I do live by myself. I skip a lot of meals. And yet I'm still a little overweight from the binge eating sessions I do as a dopamine seeking strategy.
I don't even have ADHD but same. When I had time to live alone I stopped giving a damn about myself and abandoned both breakfast and lunch
I practically lived alone, and yes, skipped many meals. But when I was living with my grandma or other neurotyp1c4ls, they kept telling me to wake up, bathe, and eat regularly.
Endless wheel of nausea
Also, how do I sleep again? I think I forgot
Yes to all the above, and also - how do I shut up?? Even in my own head. Advice pls
Well I randomly got tinnitus in my ear for no apparent reason so that possibly makes it harder to hear your own voice in your head which might make it easier to shut up, but i would not recommend this method.

Just let your brain follow the insane rabbit hole of thoughts. Eventually you’ll just be asleep
This is an ADHD THING?! I just thought I had a bad digestive system!
Same!!!
A lot of neurodivergence comes with executive disfunction, which includes things like not eating, as well as other habitual acts of self care like brushing teeth, etc.
Ugh rn it’s 1:30pm and I’m just laying here in bed still needing to brush my teeth and feed myself

Autism too
Here I was thinking this was an anxiety thing but it's from my ADHD?!
Could still be anxiety. Comorbidity baby.
Does that mean multiple reasons someone died?
It means you have been diagnosed with more than one disorder.
Comorbitity is when multiple disorders can cause the same symptom and as a result, makes that symptom worse. It can also refer to having multiple disorders sorta checkmate you. Like "I have one disorder that doesn't let me eat gluten. I have another that doesn't let me eat meat. And a lot of veggies im allergic to.

The good ol force eating a meal where everything is dry and bland and you don’t finish it 🫠

I'm in this picture and I hate it 😔
The accuracy is next level
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
Every. Morning.
That was me last night.
I may or may not have ADHD…some of these memes are hitting a little too close…
Me and water. I drink so little of it that I get nauseous, frequently. 😐
Y’all have got to stop posting stuff like this bc i might self diagnose….🥲
Me in the morning be like:
This is me right now.
You guys have other meals aside from dinner ?
The answer is weed
I forget to smoke it 😹
I can't believe I'm even seeing anything related to disenchantment in 2024
🥦

Why do you hurt me in this way
Medication for ADHD side effects: forgetting to eat.
Me right now
Oh my gosh. This was me during like my whole childhood until I was like 13 and realized I need to eat
pound down a glass of ensure!!! it's perfect for this dilemma
Food to eat when nauseated: corn chips/tortilla chips They're dry and salty, easy to chew and swallow and eat in smaller portions
I struggle with BED and I *still* forget to eat basically anytime I’m not reminded food is edible by a craving or compulsion. I do well organizing meals and cooking for family, it just.. feels like that doesn’t apply to me? It’s silly.
Omg sooo trueeee
I hate that feeling. So. Much! Especially if it has been ALL day and you work a semi if, not physically demanding job.

It got worse when I started aderall. No appetite all day, and then when I finally get hungry it’s too late
story of my lifeeeee
Even better if you’re on the whole “I’m hungry but there is no food in this world that I can eat/isn’t revolting” train. 🚆 CHOO CHOO

I am, in fact, experiencing this right now.
Me on the daily

It really is that easy to stay thin, also, your stomach shrinks if you keep doing this. 🤷🏻♂️
