"Hey girl! Im a new follower, omg I am so glad I found your blog! I will have more access to healthy food this summer and I always struggle to eat clean! Can you tell me some easy to make lunch ideas? I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast and then arnold sandwich thins with lots of boars head buffalo chicken and carrots for dinner! I have fruit through the day but I need to know a good lunch! Ideas? Also where can I get quinoa?"

Thank you for following me!  Glad you found my blog.  You should be able to find quinoa in any supermarket (Whole Foods, Stop & Shop, literally everywhere), probably near where they keep the rice and pastas.  Good lunch ideas:

Lunch 1: PB and banana sandwich with almonds
Lunch 2: Romaine lettuce with grape tomatoes, feta cheese and grilled chicken
Lunch 3:  Use low-calorie tortilla wraps and instead of using bread, stuff your boars head cold cuts with lettuce in the wrap.
Lunch 4:  Lots and lots of cucumber slices, cubed cheese and grapes
Lunch 5:  Whole wheat bagel (use mini bagels if you want), avocado, hard boiled egg sliced
Lunch 6: Pita pocket bread, hummus, bell peppers and other veggies
Lunch 7: Whole wheat pasta with olives and tomato sauce (2 oz), salad with grape tomatoes and cucumbers, fruit of choice on the side.

When making salads, keep it as dry as possible if you’re taking it to go (don’t slice tomatoes, buy grape tomatoes), this will keep the lettuce as fresh and as crunchy as possible.

"): It breaks my heart to hear that you feel like no one is being supportive. I'll be here for you to let you know that you're loved and special and you deserve everything that's magical in this world. You don't deserve to be feeling this way and I hope that one day you will overcome this and finally be happy because that's the least you deserve. ♥♥♥♥ Feel better and take your time figuring this out."

You’re the sweetest, thank you so much. My mom hasn’t been supportive at all and her boyfriend hasn’t been support either. This message really means a lot, thank you.


Mental Health Update

It’s been rough at home the past month. My manic episodes have gotten worse, then after that I have no energy to do anything so I lay down in my bed and cry the rest of the day. That’s how it’s been every single day for about a month. It has never been this bad. I’m exhausted during school from crying so much and I can’t pay attention. My therapist is making me go to a psychiatrist to prescribe me a mood stabilizer, which is kind of scary for me because of last incident with anti-depressants. It landed me in the hospital because my body didn’t like the high dosage I was put on so quickly, I had a manic episode and attempted suicide in my dorm room. I contemplate suicide all day long, even though it looks like I have a smile on my face. I smile so people don’t ask me “what’s wrong?” because I really don’t want to explain it. No one at home is taking my suicidal thoughts seriously, but of course they’ll take my mania seriously and blame me for it. My mom threatened to call the cops on me because she feels unsafe around me and send me to a ward again, or ship me off to my abusive dad. I’ve been suicidal since 4th grade and that’s something that won’t change without support, which is something I don’t have right now from anyone. My self-esteem is in the toilet and I’ve never felt so alone.
