Try cooking meals from fresh. If like me you dont have a clue, try Gusto, you get all the ingredients in set portions and a paint by numbers recipe for each meal. It’s expensive but if you get the introductory deal it works out cheaper than the shops. Certainly cheaper than takeaways.

It’s given me a good understanding of flavours, seasoning and spices that I would never have had and given me the confidence to share some of the responsibility of cooking which I never used to do. I’ve cooked some meals and thought fuck me how did I cook this!

Cheers Joe, I'll have a look into that.

That sounds difficult! You could buy what you need for a day or two, but I'm guessing if you have an online shop, you're not keen on going to the shops?

Food doesn't go off that quickly mind as long as you're storing it properly. Maybe read food safety web pages and put your mind at rest?

Yeah, I don't leave the house at all except when the missus picks me up and takes me to her place. Can't remember the last time I left the house on my own.

The stuff that I'm leaving that ends up going off, some of it is months past the Use By date. Chucked a load of stuff this week from the freezer that was Use By 3 or 4 months ago.

I thought Amitriptyline was mainly used for pain relief these days rather than depression, I was given it years ago for IBS of all things and was told it was an old fashioned antidepressant drug

Did it help? It appears to fix quite a few things. I'm tempted to bin them off.

Could you buy say ready meals for five days and ingredients for two days? Might be less daunting if you know you only have to cook for two days and it would save you some money.

For a time, until I became immune so to speak then they upped the dose. I just came off them in the end. They weren’t massive doses. I sertraline now for anxiety, which I think is the route cause cause of gut problems and have no issues now

They seem more of a hindrance to me.

Do you exercise? It's a great stress reliever.
