Cooking With Depression

I'm mentally ill & like to cook. I make videos to share my recipes & tips on managing depression & anxiety.

[Cooking With Depression @CooknDepression]

So I posted my first videos yesterday & am excited to share more. You can look forward to recipes for all moods/diets, & tools for managing mental illnesses. I'm just someone w/ depression/anxiety (& has loved ones trying to manage too) who likes to cook.

It's a 4-5 on my motivation scale. It took us about 2.5 hours to make with almost constant work.

Very much with it! Plan for lots of time and effort. And an incredible, tasty dish with lid of leftovers!

Working on new projects & getting ready for summer classes. I have a few videos I've been working up to edit, but life has been busy.

Today we made this Egyptian Koshari, recipe courtesy of Middle Eats on YouTube. So good!!

For anyone wondering...

I haven't made any new videos lately because I started going back to school and it's taken most of my time.

I am hoping to have some time to edit a few new videos in between semesters. I haven't forgotten!!

[Cooking With Depression @CooknDepression]

I've decided videos will come out when they come out for now. I've been busy (story to come). #Captioning takes so much time & I'm not willing to put out videos without captions. Working on being more efficient.

If anyone has any tips (or programs they use) please drop them here

Just saw this on reddit. So brilliant! I love the different levels of effort each day.

Loving this thread. 🤤😍Getting some ideas and changing some plans for future videos. #Seaspiracy #PlantBased

In honor of #Seaspiracy I’d like to start a thread of vegan seafood. Drop your photos!!!!! 🌱

Save our planet by removing seafood from your diet. There’s plenty of plant-based options available. #Seaspiracy is very eye opening and exposes the truth behind the fishing industries.

For all of the folks who have wondered if I’m eating, I am. Even cooked myself something to try to cheer myself up. In the meantime though, it’s been mostly stuff off the list: https://t.co/ZnWdfle9yq

Struggling with finding the motivation to finish editing this week's video. I was supposed to put it up today but I just can't finish it.

I've had a really busy past couple of weeks and I haven't been able to put more than an hour here and there into editing.

Is the coronavirus vaccine safe? Will it turn you gay? Is Bill Gates trying to microchip you?

Made some mushroom fries. Thanks for the hot sauce @stickermule! It was a great addition to the dish!

[Cooking With Depression @CooknDepression]

🤣🤣 ok, I'm so guilty of this! But some ingredients are added "by taste", and others depend on where you live. Literally the elevation, moisture in the air, etc., that can change the amounts you should use.

These stories are so great! 😂

Guacamole...because avocados!

We don’t expect people to understand everything about our chronic illness/disability,
but we hope they believe us and listen to us about it.

Saw this on reddit. What a super cool tool (wow I'm so hip 🙄) to track your consumption of animal products. We don't need to eat meat, dairy, or eggs for every meal... Or even every day.

In case the post gets deleted or something, the app is "EATview"

Texas is showing us that we should all be worried. Climate change is happening rapidly, making it difficult to predict what will happen next, allowing our capitalistic government to sacrifice the most marginalized instead of creating infrastructures to save us. Capitalism kills

[Cooking With Depression @CooknDepression]

@AOC I make recipe videos. Most of my recipes so far are vegan, one is vegetarian, and I don't use much meat. Plus all my recipes are grouped by how much motivation you have! 💜

But yea, almost none of my teachers had no opinion of me. I either was their most or least favorite student.

When I could blend into the middle, that was honestly the best.

[Cooking With Depression @CooknDepression]

Too true. In elementary school I had a teacher that hated me so much I was always being sent to the principal's office. Eventually my mom got so annoyed of hearing from the school she told them "Only call me if she kills someone!"

Not great.
