@tyme and @Birdofparadise8 a tip, if you live alone and cook your food, freezing it is always an option.

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah exactly I’m thinking if I make a batch of lasagna or spaghetti bolognese I can freeze some of it and have it for a meal another night when I don’t want to cook @creative_writer @tyme

I hope the meal prepping side with work well for you, then I'd be interested to hear what you do @Birdofparadise8 .

Will you be working when you come to Melb?

[tyme]

I have a lot of meals in the freezer... I look at them and say, "No thank you!" Thanks part of the problem. I need to just eat them to clear the freezer and start again. @creative_writer @Birdofparadise8

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah I will let you know how I get on with it  @tyme @creative_writer 

[tyme]

Once again, I'm getting so excited that you are coming to Melb 🙂 @Birdofparadise8 

[Birdofparadise8]

Thanks I wish I am as excited, but I don’t know I think that’s the depression talking @tyme 

[tyme]

Yes, sounds like that black dog is hollering over you @Birdofparadise8 . 

I forgot whether you mentioned this in the past, but if you don't mind me asking, are you taking anti-depressants?

[Birdofparadise8]

Yeah I am my GP just increased my dose last week I take two different ones one in the morning and one to help me sleep @tyme 

[tyme]

So it sounds like early days yet? @Birdofparadise8 ?

I tried about 6 different anti depressants until I found the one for me. We are all different so it's good to monitor things and see how you go.

Do you have a mood diary?
