Guys I’m gonna be honest, I’m kind of struggling right now. There is a weight around some of my projects that I just can’t shake and it is really getting to me. . . Do you ever have those days/weeks where everything just feels kind of blah? Where your to do list can suck it and all you want to do is curl up with a fluffy blanket and let the world continue on without you for a bit? (Not in a suicidal way but more of a if I close the blinds and curtains does the outside world even exist sort of way.) . . This happens to me every so often and my best cure for it seems to be to turn it all off for a while. Leave work in the office and the dishes in the sink and just escape for a bit. . . Do these days happen to you? How do you deal with them so that you can come back swinging later? . . #blahdays #depression #selfcare #selflove #anxiety #chronicillness #zeromotivation #lazydays #takeadayoff #needtogetaway #itsoktoescape #youarenotalone https://www.instagram.com/p/BuMT9PgHdWr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4t6554e7vksw

Being sad for no reason has become so common that I don’t remember last time I was happy

About Cooking with Brain Fog

Welcome to my new tumblr! Here I will be collecting and posting recipes that are ideal when you're feeling too dysfunctional to cook, but still have a need to take care of yourself. So if you have any number of conditions that suck away your motivation, energy, and focus including depression, anxiety, ADHD, burn out, stress, chronic pain, long covid, living with small children, etc., I hope this blog is helpful to you.

I welcome any and all recipe submissions and hope this blog becomes a collaborative resource. If you have any go-to recipes for when you don't feel like cooking, please submit them!

My second goal with this blog is to edit out all the excess baggage in recipes and make them as foolproof as possible. Because when you don't have the headspace, trying to follow a recipe can be an utter nightmare. Even just trying to find a recipe on a page can be super frustrating when it's buried in someone's life story or full of annoying pop-up ads. If I found a recipe on the internet, I'll cite my source with the link, but will do my best to include my rewritten less bullshitty version.

I’m flattening my citations curve faster than the PH daily COVID cases curve 😭 got zero research motivation since december 2019 😭 2020 is not a good year for me in terms of mental focus - migraine attacks are more frequent and more painful 😣 in any case i am an effective crammer, hoping for a productive 4Q-2020 and 2021! sa totoo lang di ko makita ang sense for my career na mag-publish nang mag-publish, di naman kailangan pag forever kang contractual, yung « you perish even if you publish » ang motto 😣 i am still blessed as compared to others, kaya lalaban pa rin, may pinag-dadaanan lang sa headaches 😖😵🥴 #amazingadventuresofbeaujethro #dramarama #dramaramasahapon #anxiety #migraine #headache #zeromotivation #research #filipinoscientist #googlescholar #citations #science #flatteningthecurve #anxious #distracted (at Nice, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE6GLrRiqfW/?igshid=1r2lhk1a3y4pc

I did not go for a run today. Nor a walk. But I feel like I've been hit by a truck, all the same. So I thought I might as well remind myself of what I look like when I don't feel like this. . . . . . . . . . . #Throwback #Quarantine #ZeroMotivation #MentalHealthDay #FocusOnMe #FocusOnHealth #OneOfThoseDamnDays #CabinFever / #Hormones / #PMS / #FuckKnows #3MonthsAndCounting #WhereIsMyRoutine #WhatMonthIsIt #BatshitCrazy #Literally #🦇 #🦇💩 #BurntOut #SugaredOut #HomedOut #AtLeastItRained #SilverLining #🌧️ #Pluviophile #StormWithin #ThisTooShallPass #Reminder #NoteToSelf #ChinUp https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlS-wbJW7i/?igshid=1r3ocrahlhzmg

Many don’t find enough motivation to get through the day dealing with lazy mornings and zero-motivation to kick start the day. Even though you have piles of work to do, you instead sleep in a little more in the name of no motivation and let the work hover you for the rest of the day. http://bit.ly/2KUJIs1 #bestbeautys #motivation #dailymotivation #motivationmonday #motivationtuesday #motivationwednesday #motivationthursday #motivationfriday #motivationsaturday #motivationsunday #motivationon100 #mondaymotivation #zeromotivation #everydaymotivation #nevergiveup #achievementhunter https://www.instagram.com/p/BzcB0-WBPbC/?igshid=17hyzx0yzvkw3

Day 12 of 30

Hey all!

I finally slept last night! by golly it worked! So thankful honestly. Decided to try another sleeping pill again tonight. 

Mixed up some more quick oats for tomorrow. In this recipe I use a half a banana. We never really go through bananas that fast in this house- they usually turn brown faster than I’d like. But we usually end up putting the last one or two in the freezer. So guess what I’m gonna try and do tomorrow!? I’m going to attempt to make vegan sugar-free banana bread for the first time ever ladies and gentlemen. I will update you on how that turns out. 

Today I ate leftover soup and some toast for lunch. Quick snack. To my surprise, my homemade bread is still mold free. I’m quite amazed honestly. But overly thankful. I’m going to attempt to make more bread here soon. A fluffier version perhaps. Try, try again they say right?

Supper was a dish inspired by my Airbnb hosts in Regina. Mixed with a recipe I learned when I was a fresh vegan from my friend Darby (shout out girl- I’m still making this 4 years later). Simple- rice, black beans, tomatoes, peppers, onions, spices. Easy peasy lemon squeezey. A little Mexican/ Indian dish. 

Alright- that’s all for tonight folks. Talk to you tomorrow after supper and banana bread baking. Wish me luck!

Ugh
