The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi all again...

@CherryBomb when I had anorexia it was all about control... Schizophrenia especially makes you feel out of control of your life - it has robbed me of a life & you never know what is real or not ~ you never know when you might have another complete break...
Before I became vegan I used to make salmon, cream & dill pasta. I just feel like some brown rice spaghetti with lentil, olive, capers & tomato. I would cook myself if we had a proper kitchen. @Jacques I found a one I liked today, but my partner just talked to his brother who worked for years in it & that brand is no good. My partner is researching another one that I was interested in. Thank you for the pizza @Mazarita - we made a yummy pizza Wednesday night - sweet potato, olives, onion,tomato, relish, capsicum, mushrooms,

Sorry my response is scattered. Anxiety, arghhhhhhh thank you @Former-Member - hope you recover from flu quickly

Namaste

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

That is great your partner has someone who knows, when $$$ are tight you don't want to make the wrong choice.

I know how scary it is to be out of control @Former-Member, i am that way at the moment, i find eating is a way for me of calming me down, sometimes because i hate myself so much too 😞

I am so glad you are keeping up with the yoga though, excercise is so important for our MH, i have unfortunatly stopped excercising, but i am going to make myself start again in the future.

Hello everybody.

Glad I made it Friday Feast. Sorry I missed a few.

We had Mexican wraps tonight.

Only just just hanging in there. with extra help. I am feeling that I am very sick and I am a burden on society and just kidding myself that I have done anything worth-while in my life. I had a big emotional knock yesterday, but a little surprise visit from an old choir friend, this morning. I do try to be optimistic .. but neither my son and I are sleeping at nights .. though i havent been online.

My son noticed I was sniffing and gave me a hug ... but then I worry that I am a dreadfully toxic person ... caused his illness etc. and he should stay away from me.

So it looks like we are all struggling a bit at the moment.

Lovely to see you @Crazy_Bug_Ladyand congrats re Kili doing well in her first show.

I am not sleeping of a night either, for over a month now. i know how much of a toll this can take on our mental health. please be gentle with yourself during this time, i am here if you need support or some bad okes to lift your mood 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @Appleblossom, great to see you here but sorry you are very down. Sounds like the sleep problem might be excacerbating the dark thoughts. I agree with @Jacques that you have so much to feel good about. Hope that knowledge will come back to you soon.
