Isn't it crazy how trauma takes up so much of your memory? It causes you to both forget and remember. You just never know when you'll do either.

When I’m feeling depressed, it can be nearly impossible to take care of myself, and that includes eating. Here’s a list of some foods that require little to no effort (aka: can be eaten right out of the package or just need to be microwaved), mainly for my personal reference, but also so others can find easier alternatives when they’re struggling.

Water bottles or canned water - stay hydrated!!

vegetables - green beans, peas, corn, black/kidney/pinto beans, chickpeas (all canned or microwaveable frozen bags) - I’ve also tried Harvest Snaps, which are baked snap peas & they’re v good

Fruit - grapes, raisins (or any other dried fruit like apricots/dates), mandarin oranges, apples, applesauce cups, bananas, pears, peaches, etc. (most fruits require no prep anyway, but especially if they’re canned - you can also buy frozen bags)

Canned soup or chicken, beef, or veggie broth

Pasta (ramen, spaghetti, mac and cheese, chow mein) or instant rice are my go-tos. You can buy these in individual cups or bulk packs.

Any microwaveable food - frozen/tv dinners, burritos, toaster strudels (they make an egg bacon & cheese version too!), mini pizzas, breakfast sandwiches… there’s a lot you could do here :)

Dairy - Yogurt, cheese sticks, (or just straight up eat cheese slices, there are no rules here), cottage cheese, almond/oat/soy milk, powdered milk (if you want something shelf-stable)

Grains & carbs - cereal, crackers, chips, popcorn, toast or bagels (I’ve eaten plain bread before tbh and it kinda slaps), Oatmeal (these packets are dinosaur themed & have little sugar eggs!! - https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/instant-oatmeal/dinosaur-eggs)

Nuts - peanuts, peanut butter, almonds, cashews, walnuts, trail mix, etc.

Meat - deli turkey, trail bologna, spam, jerky, frozen chicken strips or nuggets, Morningstar vegetarian corn dogs, canned tuna

Eggs

Fast food or take-out is also a good option if you don’t feel like making anything yourself.

A little tip - most foods you would take on a camping or hiking trip are great! for some, all you need to do is add water & heat it up. they are usually on the expensive side, though!! here’s some I’ve found that are decent:

https://mountainhouse.com/

Things to keep on hand for particularly bad days:

⁠Boost/ensure/Soylent - liquid meals for when the idea of chewing or mixing anything is too much.

⁠disposable cutlery/bowls/utensils so you don’t have more dishes to worry about.

Multivitamins

Liquid IV, Gatorade, or some other form of electrolytes. It’s too easy to get dehydrated!

If you do have a little energy to cook or make something, here’s some ideas:

If you have a blender: frozen spinach + frozen banana + shelf stable almond milk + peanut butter makes a great smoothie.

frozen fruit + frozen spinach/kale for smoothies

Adding whey protein makes it more filling.

⁠dried pasta + jarred pasta sauce (Rao’s is low sugar and awesome, but pricey) + frozen meatballs

Boil tortellini on hand. Its as easy as boiling water. You can eat it plain, add a spoonful of pesto, sprinkle with a little olive oil or butter and some garlic salt, or pour it back in the pan after draining and add a little pasta sauce

⁠frozen fried rice + frozen stir fry veggies

⁠favorite frozen protein and veggies for sheet pan meals

⁠canned refried beans with a tortilla and some cheese to microwave, can add extra toppings too

⁠oatmeal + pb + dried fruit of choice

⁠rice cakes + pb + jam (or substitute bread if you have it)

Rotisserie chicken in a salad, soup, sandwich or wrap

Frozen salmon with some veggies

air fryer foods - chicken nuggets, tenders, fries, etc. You can also toss different vegetables (baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, etc.) in a little olive oil and throw them in there

chicken broth & frozen dumplings - you can dress it up a little with some miso, soy sauce or other seasonings. You could also add some frozen vegetables.

snack type food - a combination of canned Garbanzo beans and black olives. The olives are salty enough that you can get low sodium beans and it will still taste good.

A lot of these ideas I stole from the good people of Reddit (particularly r/depressionmeals)!Here’s the post I referenced if you’d like to look further into it:

SO, I'm looking for a therapist.

I have - ADHD, possible bpd, growing issues, anxiety issues, stress, getting to know me/how humans work n mind issues, not knowing what's healthy in life n mind, general life stuff.

Also something happened when i was 13 n I sorta went a little off the shore so to speak, so - identity issues, huge Instability issues(easily affected, easily destabilized, very thin skin), waiting for a buoy in the middle of the sea sometimes, memory issues, connecting timeline, etc.

I'm very sensitive, I like to figure things out well.

I don't want to do mind things without knowing it's okay...

I'm looking for a therapist that charges 2000 INR($25) or less per online video session.

Does anyone know a good psychologist for this, who might be aware n qualified for these issues, so yeah ?

Aging and Wellbeing

Welcome back to my blog series! Today, I will delve deeper into the intricate relationship between aging and health, particularly focusing on the unique challenges faced by Aboriginal Australians.

As we age, our bodies undergo various transformations, both physically and mentally. While aging is a natural part of life, it often comes with its share of health concerns. From chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes to heart and lung conditions, older adults frequently find themselves navigating through a maze of health issues that can significantly impact their well-being.

In a poignant study by Holly et al. (2023), alarming rates of chronic diseases were observed among Aboriginal Australians. These communities, marked by their rich cultural heritage, are unfortunately grappling with disproportionately high rates of conditions like type 2 diabetes and dementia—a mental sickness that poses unique challenges for both individuals and their caregivers.

Well-being for the indigenous group matters a lot as aging people of the indigenous group need utmost care and nurture in their older days of life. Finding more effective ways for Aboriginal communities to receive the health care they require. It makes recommendations for improvements to services aimed at enhancing Aboriginal health, particularly in older populations (Riitsalu et al., 2024, p.68).

Indigenous communities have longer life expectancies, which is reflected in the rise in the proportion of older persons with age-related syndromes and chronic health disorders. Indigenous peoples' aging health and well-being may be enhanced if certain modified lifestyle factors are addressed, as many of these illnesses are linked to them. A deeper comprehension of what aging well means for Indigenous people is necessary if models of healthy aging are to be promoted within health systems. Indigenous peoples see aging and health holistically, which perhaps sets them apart from Western conceptions.

Figure 1 below shows the rate of fatal and non-fatal diseases which are faced by the aging group of population among an indigenous group of people (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, 2022). It is evident from the graph that the increasing rate of diseases among older people in this community risks the healthy living and well-being of the people. Therefore, it is mandatory to bring up certain interventions which would be efficient and effective for the better livelihood of older people. The most popular intervention which is found to be used is care homes which treat dementia patients with utmost care and attention (Coffey et al., 2023, p.21959). It is in these care homes that there are different policies and protocols are maintaining which are best suitable for mentally retarded or sick people.

Figure 3: Rate of fatal and non-fatal diseases

(Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, 2022)

Little is currently known regarding the design and implementation processes of health promotion interventions that support healthy ageing for older Indigenous adults (OIA) (High et al., 2023, p.448). Reducing health inequities and supporting healthy aging across the lifespan are priorities for doctors, academics, healthcare providers, community stakeholders, and rehabilitation professionals. The timing is now right for us to actively involve Indigenous communities in general and OIA in particular in the planning, carrying out, and involvement of intergenerational health promotion initiatives.

Mental Health

There is more to mental wellness than merely "being happy" all the time. It resembles a wild trip of feelings, ideas, and actions. We sometimes cruise at a leisurely pace, while other times we encounter abrupt bends and steep dips. In order to take care of our mental health, we must navigate such turns with self-awareness, compassion, and support. Additionally, receiving professional help and priceless tools in controlling these oscillations can be obtained by seeking out mental health services.

From Struggle to Strength: Nurturing Freedom Through the Journey of Seeking Help | Solh Wellness

It can be quite frightening to deal with mental illness on your own and without seeking support. People who are anxious may withdraw from activities in order to prevent potential panic episodes or to stop unpleasant thought patterns from starting. Untreated mental illness prevents human development and makes it difficult to move forward in life. Even if they have the courage to move forward, a persistent fear of the repercussions can undermine their efforts and prevent them from going any further. This continues a vicious loop in which the ideal result is elusive.

The study is concerned with how severely mental illness reduces productivity and creativity. Keeping a positive attitude requires a lot of personal effort, which leaves little time for their work obligations. This demonstrates how issues with mental health affect people's welfare as well as their capacity to thrive in areas of creativity and productivity.

We are conscious of the isolation that comes with dealing with mental health issues. In addition to providing relief right away, receiving assistance may have long-term advantages like:

Breaking the Isolation:When you seek treatment, you can create a network of supporters who are sympathetic to your challenges with mental health and who can offer you advice and information. This network of backers can provide wise advice and the right kind of support.

Strengthening Relationships: The resources required to enhance social connections are provided to clients of mental health counseling. It becomes possible to get in touch with loved ones again, strengthening ties.

Preventing Health Issues: Untreated mental illnesses can make physical health issues, such as weight and sleep issues, worse. The chance of getting new medical diseases can be decreased with early management.

Developing Coping Strategies: People who seek out professional counseling are given useful coping mechanisms that increase their fortitude and self-awareness in the face of difficulty.

Enhancing Work Performance: Issues with mental health may have a negative impact on productivity at work. By asking for assistance, people can overcome obstacles, perform effectively under pressure, and keep their wellbeing.

Elevating Quality of Life: One can progress personally and enhance their understanding of themselves, their relationships, their capacity to handle day-to-day issues, and their ability to solve them by asking for assistance. These beneficial changes raise the quality of life.

Even though it can be difficult to know when to ask for assistance, there are a few indicators that it could be necessary. Focusing difficulties, worries from friends and family, sleep issues, a loss of interest in activities, a sense of loneliness, physical symptoms, drug addiction, traumatic events, and chronic pain brought on by conditions like the COVID-19 epidemic are just a few of the warning indicators.

Conclusion:

We are aware that addressing mental health issues on your own can be difficult. It's acceptable to ask for help. Your strength and desire to live a full life without being constrained by your sickness are evident in your willingness to ask for help.

Consider a person whose protracted anxiety interferes with their capacity to carry out daily tasks. To learn coping mechanisms and address the underlying reasons of their stress, they make the decision to see a therapist. This action demonstrates both their strength and their dedication to their own well-being and personal development.

Since we at Solh think that mental health is important, we have selected a variety of effective self-help techniques to improve your mental wellbeing. We provide a variety of services, including goal-setting, mood analysis, self-assessment tests, journaling, and access to a sizable collection of educational materials. Utilize our wide range of self-help resources to take control of your path to improved mental health and personal growth.
