[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2405986, member: 401801"] Hello, me. (Sorry, you sound like I'm reading a mirror image of myself) I've spent decades pretty much housebound, partially due to physical issues, but mostly because my depression and generalised/social anxiety kept me prisoner. You can guess how a pandemic affected me eh. (Now all my irrational fears were suddenly rational! Eek, people!). When I was diagnosed I was at a very, very low point, and I couldn't fathom being bothered to actually whip out pans to cook for myself. Usually I just had a big mug of milk with instant coffee and a massive load of sugar to keep me going through the day. I didn't over-eat by any means, often having just one proper meal a day, but what I did ingest was quite horrid. Alas, muesli and breakfast oats of any kind are really, really bad for us... And I've found that making scrambled eggs takes about as long as putting milk in the microwave, so it wasn't such a heartache to start cooking for myself. Sometimes it's a matter of finding something easy. Like just throwing something in the airfryer, and letting it do all the work. (salmon, chicken, roast, mixed veggies, whatever). Throw it in raw, pull it out done. No-brainers for dinner. Stir fries with cauliflower rice and cheese take no time whatsoever, and you can throw in whatever herbs/spices you want. It's about figuring out what works for you. It does get better, honest. (I actually go out for daily walks now! I still get panic attacks, but they don't keep me behind my front door.). You'll get there. Honest. Jo [/QUOTE]
