Help Food is rotting in my fridge.

[ILiveAlone]

I've been logging in here less and less because...things have been getting better for me, I think? I don't know. I still struggle with my feelings, but I'm not as upset about certain things anymore. I guess time does heal all wounds or whatever.

Regardless, there's been something that I've been struggling with and it's leaving food in the fridge. I will buy/save food and let it sit in my fridge until it starts to rot. Not purposefully, but, after a couple of days or weeks, I'll realize 'Wait, I never cooked that chicken.' or 'Wait, I never drank that orange juice.'

I don't know. Does anyone else have this problem?

Lol I fully understanding. I moved out at home when I was 17.

If I can share my personal experience....

I stopped buying fresh fruit and vegetables when I was depressed.

I moved house to walking distance to the supermarket, and changed my cooking habits so I cooked daily.
Bought a lot of canned food, nothing complex

Cooking sucks

I'm glad your'e feeling better and I hope remains a safe space for you, and the right place to share your thoughts when you need to

I used to do this constantly until I resolved the issue by becoming too poor to purchase food. Kidding aside, do you engage in meal planning? Doing so might help you keep inventory on what you have and when it needs to be used.

Congratulations on the improvements you're seeing in your life.
