I can’t cope

@Captain24 yes i needed something easy tonight. I've finished now and done all the dishes.

I always have quick and easy things in the cupboard, though most of the time I end up passing them on to my neighbour as I don't eat them. Definitely a bonus that your dietician is happy with them too.

Hopefully it will keep you going but it's good to have those other options just in case you do run out.

I was doing sort of ok but I just had to pay my bills. My previous rent was $860 per fortnight, the new one at the increased rate which I just had to pay is now $950 per fortnight. I now have barely anything to survive on for the next 2 weeks 😞.

I just ordered some from Temu so I’ll see what happens but if my others come they can sit in the cupboard. @MissGremlin. It stops me from stressing though, knowing that I have some.

That’s a lot of money. I can see why you are stressed over it. I can see why it doesn’t leave much. I’m hoping it’s enough to get you through. It’s so hard to live stressing where your next meal is coming from. That’s when I first started eating pasta and cheese. It’s all I was living in as that’s all I could afford at the time.

@Captain24 glad you've ordered some, it's definitely better to have some than not.

I somehow have to get Casper food aswell. It's going to be impossible to survive. I'm not even supposed to eat too much pasta, rice, bread, cereal so it really makes it hard but cos of the pre-diabetes thing i have to be careful.

It’s so tough. What food do you feed Casper? I’m stuffed when they tell me I’m pre-diabetes. At least I have a dietitian that can help me through that but I’m not very good at listening to her. @MissGremlin

@Captain24 he has Royal Canin, he's still on the puppy food until he's 18 months old. But he gets chicken necks, a loaf that i buy plus lots of healthy snacks during the day. I was actually shocked when my doctor said about it to me, but he's not concerned about it and told me not to change my diet much but rather to just be mindful.

I think it definitely counts @MissGremlin 😊

Could you say something nice to yourself? Bonus points for saying it out loud. Even just 'I'm doing my best with my very rough circumstances.' or 'I am allowed to take things step by step.'

If you can't, that's okay. Don't have to push yourself, promise.

@Captain24 I hate how costly it can be, but I think our mental health is one of the best investments we can ever make. Good on you for continuing to keep up with those appts and your supports - and for the health side of things too.

Oh that's cool you can get diamond art of your doggos!! Wow! I hope it comes sooner. Could you break out the lego if you run out?

Haha could you imagine trying to drive a truck in your PJs? Long robe would definitely get in the way! Oh and the third degree from your boss haha.

Plans... hmmm. Pat the cats, clean the kitchen, and try to get some sunshine tomorrow hahaha

@Jynx i struggle to say things to myself let alone say them out loud. I think things sometimes in my head but I don't believe them. It's so hard to focus on or see any positives when things are how they are.

I just ordered some cheap ones from Temu. So hopefully they will fill in the gaps. @Jynx. I just did one of pixie and Angel. It’s there lat photo together. Angel grew her wings a couple of days later. I’m not sure about Lego right now. I don’t want to have to think too hard.

Maybe if I put hi-vis stripes on them 😂

Sounds like a cruisy day. It sounds good other than the kitchen. My plans are going dog food shopping and diamond art.

That’s good food for him. It is expensive though. I’m lucky mine a little because they get good food too. @MissGremlin

I have fatty liver so I need to be careful too. I’m suppose to be eating low GI foods. But I don’t like a lot of them.

@Captain24 a bag of food for Casper lasts me over a month which is good but it's still a big cost when I do have to get it.

The foods that we are supposed to eat often aren't that nice so it's hard to just suddenly change our diets.
