Me: "Why am I so angry about nothing?"
Does forgetting to drink water and eat food make you more angry and emotional over things? Cause random outbursts and random mood swings?
Very much so, yes.
Yes. There is even a very short psychology guide:
- Angry at everyone - needs food
- Everyone angry at you - needs sleep
- You angry at yourself - needs shower
Generally emotions are partially chemical and if your body doesn't get basic needs satisfied, it will cause you to feel negative emotions.
It absolutely does for me! People call it being "hangry".

I bet she was happy and completely normal after getting her chicken.
If I could binge eat once a week and then not have to bother to eat for the rest of that week, I'd be so happy.
Meal prep fiber/protein rich food is my best attempt at this. I usually do brown rice with toppings and egg every single day; twice per day. Very hard to get bored because you can vary the toppings - eggplant, beans, curry, soy protein, stir fried stuff - and brown rice is fiber which is hard to be bored of smaller carb/glucose-spike footprint.
Just don't freeze it, the crystals will mush the texture and you'll get bored of the slop feel very quickly.
Honestly, I took a look at fiber a few years ago and realized that it was basically absent from my diet.
I started treating it like a game.
Just generally, I feel so much better, my poos aren't markers, my stomach is not ever "doing something" and just generally I don't have to think about it. Plus I dropped a bunch of weight kinda by accident.
I'm kinda starting to think that if you basically aim for fiber the rest works out. You end up eating larger quantities of less dense calories.
Though, I may have inadvertently discovered that dairy makes my tummy gross too
fiber is under rated for real
I cannot relate less to a meme. 😂
Me, staring at the unopened biscuits in my desk drawer:

(Context: I’ve had 2 moderate meals today already and have something planned for dinner.)
Yeah I feel like it’s genuinely problematic if you do that kinda stuff. My stomach feels like I ate two knives if I haven’t eaten in even six hours.
Not all of us are neurotypical. I'll literally go all day just sitting around at home on a day off and realize it's 6pm and I haven't eaten all day. I literally just forgot to eat.
Hey I’m not neurotypical either. I have ADHD and a bunch of other stuff. But I feel like it’s probably not physically healthy to consistently do that kind of thing. Especially if it’s consistent in its inconsistency.
Conventional meal for this time of day
Or
Another black filter coffee
Choose your adventure!
That is how i know i need food, i am going for the coffe, it has gotten cold or the cup is empty, so I check the time "ah it is lunch time", works every time.
Just ADHD things
yall should get checked for neurodivergence if its relatable, assumed this was adhd-memes
isn't it related to low blood sugar if your body becomes weak and shaky?
You get low blood sugar from not eating. You don’t get the normal hunger cues before that point if you have something happening in your brain
I got diagnosed at 52, i only discovered that forgetting to eat and being shaky wasn't normal when i turned up that way to a therapy session and my therapist pointed out that, that wasn't a normal thing.
Lord knows I had it. I knew I had it. My married partner of 8 years knew I had it.
At 39 I finally got diagnosed with ADHD last week.
What has changed for you now having it attested?
I'll let you know when my prescription comes in this week.
But a lot of validation and vindication emotionally when family all my years said "no you're not ADHD, no one in our family is X or Y". Meanwhile my father and 3 uncles are all engineers or architects and are un-diagnosed autistic as fuck (My married partner is autistic and has met them all and every time we leave we get in the car and they say "Holy fuck he's so fucking autistic")
Too real… 🤣
In contrast to me „oh I got a minute, time to eat 5 cans on beans“
Same and I also go to sleep when I feel I am going to die.
I time it every four hours. If I don't I feel lightheaded.
why does lightheartedness feel so good but lightheadedness so bad
I always seems to miss lunch. It's actually just handy st this point
I've maladapted into calling my eventual meal after forgetting to eat multiple meals in a row 'intermittent fasting'
Yeah when IF was at its peak, I read up on it and was like...I already do this, but not on purpose.
The thing a lot of people miss with intermittent fasting (imo) is making sure the meals they do eat are giving them the right amount of nutrients/proteins/etc that their body needs.
it's actually very healthy.
Yeah u save a lot of money as well. I just eat an apple, which is like 50 cents. Most of my colleagues go out for lunch everyday, paying around 10 Euros or so every time. That's 200 bucks a month only for lunch. Absolutely ridiculous.
I used to not anything all day, then take an edible and eat all of my calories at once. Depending on stress, sometimes I regress to only being able to eat a few safe foods (when it’s really bad - only the pizza and nacho lunchables), and weed usually helps there.
Since I had stomach surgery recently and have to eat small things frequently, I bought a shit ton of bulk snacks and I always keep some with me. I also gave myself permission to buy bottled water. It’s helped a lot to have little things on hand, so I don’t have to interrupt whatever I’m doing to eat. I just grab some goldfish crackers and a water bottle out of my backpack and then I’m good to go.
How about sitting back utterly satisfied with your complete meal and then noticing that others look like they've started eating?
Oops
I never understood this, how the hell are you not medically underweight?
I guess some people’s bodies are still operating as a European peasant.
how the hell are you not medically underweight?
I may not eat often, but if I do, I eat a lot.
fun fact: your body reminds you when to eat.
I'm not underweight, my digestive system is just lightweight, minimalistic and debloated with as little propriatery nutrients as possible (except for those needed to function). It's not intuitive to the average alive person, but it's my system and all that matters is that I know how to use it!
another meme in the mirror
I WANT to live this way! But I'm at my parents' house now, no way they're letting me stay this way...
If you don't get the proper amount of calories for your body (especially if you're still growing) you'll be in a lot of trouble.
Even as a fully grown adult, not eating enough and physically exerting yourself could mess with your bone density among other things. Happens to thru hikers on the Appalachian trail when they don't eat enough.
It's a Summer thing, actually. Heavy tummy all the time, doesn't ever feel light. I did have a "large" meal yesterday and almost felt like I was going to be bloated.
But then again, Summer-only. I was eating fine at the dorm, 4 meals a day, 3 meals instead if I was overeating for each meal, or 2 if I accidentally skipped the other two...
...Or maybe it's the switch in environments. I dunno!
I used to get hangry AF. Couldn't miss a meal, i'd just be absolutely miserable.
One day, I went let's try keto.
After going into and out of keto a few times, I no longer get ravenous. It's now years later and I'm just mmm i could stand to eat now.
I just drink water when I am hungry. Stay hydrated.
Adhd will do that to you.
