I’m not sure if this is the right sub to post this in, if not can someone please point me in the right direction.
I’m currently going through quite severe depression in addition to a difficult to treat chronic health disorder which causes me lots of pain and discomfort and I have approximately zero energy to exert on anything beyond getting out of bed and using the toilet. Anything beyond that drains my energy faster than google maps drains my phone. I don’t have the energy to even maintain proper hygiene and can only shower every few day. Due to this, I particularly struggle with food prep and cooking. Food preparation and cooking isn’t problematic in and of itself, it’s just the energy used to gather up ingredients and wash, cut or prepare them, the energy used to stand at the stove and the energy used to wash up afterwards. Washing up in particular causes me a lot of pain. I am not exaggerating when I say that I am looking for recipes with zero prep and cooking that are vaguely healthy, not excessively high in calories and can sustain me if eaten only once a day.
I am trying to lose weight because now I’ve become diabetic and I am terrified of organ damage but I don’t have the energy or strength to cook healthy meals for myself. I’m not the typical case of severe depression as I am also obese and eating food is currently the last thing standing in my life which gets me out of bed. It is the only thing I look forward to, but I can eat other things if I didn’t have to prepare them. The reason why junk food is usually my go-to is because it only involves me ordering in and simply eating it.
I am poor and spend all my money on ordering in, as I can’t work due to the pandemic and my reasons for living seem to dwindle by the day. I live in the UK and am on the waiting list to speak to a therapist and I cannot afford private therapy. I do not have anyone that can help me, as I live on my own and don’t have friends or a partner that can assist.
I’m ideally looking for healthy snacks, healthy ready meals or recipes with virtually no need for cooking or preparation or washing up (beyond the plate used for the meal itself). I know I’m asking a lot, but I genuinely don’t see a way out. I’ve attempted suicide once already because my life seems to be spiralling and I am stuck in a perpetual cycle of being terrified of increasingly worsened health but not having the energy to eat healthy meals.
