After being on the same medication since I was 15 years old (currently 41 years old), I’ve been taken off all of them to start from scratch. It’s hard and going to be a long process. I’ve since started new medication, but like all mental health medication, it takes a while to begin to work. I’ve also been advised (since being discharged from the hospital) that my current home is “not a safe place” for me to be while my body gets used to the new medication. All I want to do is go home. 

In addition to the medication, I have been enrolled and participating in various group therapies, on a waiting list for a psychiatrist and given resources to help me find and obtain new low-income housing. However, I can’t start a lot of this much-needed ‘help’ without being at home. Although the medication is starting to help with my depression and anxiety conditions, I have not started anything for my ADHD, which is, in my personal opinion, vital as I have no motivation, no energy, can’t focus and am extremely irritable and agitated. 

I’m also working on becoming more physically healthy, as mental and physical health are tied, and you can’t be physically healthy without being mentally healthy and vice versa. It’s not easy. It’s not fun. It is an entire lifestyle change in which I am committed to and trying my absolute best, but not being able to go home yet is very discouraging. Day by day, as they say.

Peace, Light & Love ❤

 In my entire 41 and ‘X’ amount of days I’ve existed on this planet, in this life, just about half of it (basically my entire adult life) I’ve been a renter long enough to know what good tenants and not so good tenants are like. I have also learned a lot from my former step mother who has been a landlord for over 40 years and not only did I help with odd jobs creating 2 suites in her now 4plex, but also from being my ex step mother’s tenants twice. After some ‘incidents’ (the past is the past no point into devouring my energy to explain) I started to get more family with the landlord tenancy laws in the province in which I reside.

Now, I’ve lived in 4 basement suites in my life, and am currently renting one at the present time and have been for over 10 years. In those 10 years, I have had the same tenant living above me. Now, I’ve lived in basement suites where up to 10 people were living above me straight through having no one living above me. When I moved into my current living area I had just moved to the city, un planned, ect. Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely grateful for having a roof over my head and especially for the price that I am paying to live in it, even though my landlord is not even remotely close to being a landlord. 

I hadn’t even talked to the tenant upstairs until about 7 years I to living where I am (I know, crazy!) The first 7 years I tip toed around, hid inside, didn’t even feel comfortable even sitting on the steps outside my door, literally freezing in the winter, putting up with ridiculous shit yet kept my mouth shut, never complained. I’m not a fan of confrontation but I had a gut feeling that the tenant upstairs (whom I originally was led to believe we were on good terms) and decided fuck this and sent him a text asking to meet me out back. He responded he would in a minute so I went outside and waited, so nervous, I admit, I can talk a big talk but have zip to back it up 🤣) and when he finally came out, I looked him dead in the eye and asked, “we good”? Before responding he broke eye contact looked down to his left and shook his head casually saying, “No.” A lie. I could tell by the tone and everything but didn’t let on that I didn’t believe him. I am a highly sensitive person, and empath you may say. So, I just want all you other empaths and sensitive old souls know that they can only win if you let them. “Them”? Energy vampires. 

 I’ve lived on my own my entire adult life. I’ve never actually grocery shopped (referring to back when I was a child and was hauled off for family grocery shopping every two weeks.

Now, as an adult, I probably don’t have enough ingredients to make an actual proper meal, plus not only is it expensive, I don’t know how to cook at all – AND I want to eat healthy..ier. Thus I have decided to try Freshly. I signed up for 3 meals a week for 2 people (6 meals for myself) I optd for free item for life in which I chose a muffin. 

I strongly think this will help guide me in the right direction towards eating healthier, eating for fuel & energy without having to pre plan and buy ingredients that would have gone bad when you went to use it. 

 Let’s be honest, the weekly grocery shop can feel less like a mundane chore and more like a Herculean task. Battling crowded aisles, deciphering confusing labels, and lugging heavy bags home – sound familiar? What if I told you there’s a way to reclaim those precious hours and energy? Enter the glorious world of meal delivery services.

Now, I know what you might be thinking: “Isn’t that expensive?” or “I like picking out my own ingredients.” And while those are valid points, let’s delve into the surprisingly numerous benefits of having delicious, ready-to-eat meals delivered right to your doorstep. You might just find yourself trading in your grocery cart for a friendly knock on the door.

Time is Money (and Sanity!):

This is perhaps the most significant advantage. Think about it: the time spent planning meals, writing shopping lists, driving to the store, navigating the aisles, waiting in line, and then putting everything away. That’s a significant chunk of your week that has vanished! Meal delivery services eliminate all of that, freeing up your time for hobbies, family, or simply unwinding after a long day. What’s the price of an extra hour (or several!) back in your week?

Say Goodbye to Food Waste:

How many times have you bought a bunch of spinach with the best intentions, only to find it wilted and sad in the back of your fridge a week later? Meal delivery services often provide perfectly portioned meals, meaning you’re using exactly what you need and significantly reducing food waste. This is not only better for the planet but also saves you money in the long run by not throwing away uneaten ingredients.

Healthier Choices at Your Fingertips:

Many meal delivery services focus on providing nutritious and balanced meals. They often highlight calorie counts, macronutrient breakdowns, and ingredient lists, making it easier to make informed choices. Plus, you’re less likely to grab unhealthy convenience foods when a delicious and healthy meal is just a few clicks away. Some services even cater to specific dietary needs like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and keto.
