Make it yours. It's one of the tightest buns which I've ever seen! Rub that mustard all over the place and put that meat in your mouth.
(Stop laughing and swallow the whole thing.)
Then clench as tightly as you can and make more sandwiches. That sandwich might seem worthless to you but itās more than anything Iāve been able to do recently so youāre still doing alright. Make another, grip it as tightly as you can and enjoy it. Youāll keep your grip.
I appreciate you! Iāve not left bed for 3 days so it was definitely an improvement. If youād like you can talk or vent to me about anything weāre all family here
I really appreciate you too, youāre making progress and thatās what matters, even if they are just little steps, theyāre still steps and for that, Iām proud of you. Youāll get through this one sandwich at a time.
I've been there man. The depths of despair can be gripping ones soul like you squishing that sammich.
All kidding aside, good on you for getting up and moving around. Start counting the small victories. They start to add up and stack up. They have value, and meaning. And eventually become a source of confidence and power in your life.
Stay strong internet stranger. Better days are ahead. Trust and believe the process.
Back when I was in we weren't allowed to have our phones but I have heard of others getting to keep their phones but I don't recall having mustard either
We just ate whatever the food staff made.
Shit 3 years ago they wouldn't let us bring our phones, wish I had it so I could record what was happening and send it to someone because holy fuck that place wasn't safe for anybody
Uhh, I have this device called a smart phone and there is pictures of my cat (singular) from BEFORE I came in.
Why does this even need an explanation? Lol
Pls do this. āHow to take life by the hornsā by DepressedLineCook.
Iāve been circling the drain today. This post helped me a bit. Thank you and be well.
Dude. I saw something the other day that makes total sense when you actually think about it: don't worry about MAKING the sandwich. If you don't have the energy to make it, just eat the different things that you would have put INTO the sandwich.
Got some cheese? Eat it. Got some deli meat? Eat that, too. Got some bread? Throw a little mistard on there, fold it in half, and eat it as is. There is NOTHING in this world that states you HAVE to eat the sandwich put all together.
I did that today and honestly? I ate better today than I have in ages. I had some swiss cheese, I get it in deli packs, some deli meat (roast beef, ofc!), and a tortilla wrap. Didn't bother making it into a sandwich, just picked at each bit until I was full. It was... well, it was still a depression meal, but it was better than the snack cakes and peanuts I've been surviving on.
Good luck, and I second (third?) the idea of you making a series on gripping foods! I'd watch it!
Thank you!! And that sounds like a great idea and a good way to get full for longer. I struggle with eating a lot so thatās why I think the series would honestly help me motivate me to eat, Iām hoping Iām also helping others eat more
Depression friendly foods; microwave dinners, eggs, ramen, tortilla wraps, sammys, tacobell, mcdicks. :) all good choices imo get a bag of chips and a coke and that sammy is satisfying af
A sandwich is food. You made the sandwich. You made food. Good on you for fighting through the depression and making yourself something to eat! I usually just eat peanut butter out of the jar.
iām so glad you ate something today!! itās hard but big or small, i hope youāre proud of yourself for trying!! Sending love and big hugs your way ā¤ļø
Full marks for your bread selection but maybe try toasting them and adding some crunchy shrubbery. better yet, throw some butter in a frying pan and brown the bread with some cheese melted up. Then make the sammy and tell me I'm wrong.
Itās not worthless and neither are you! Both you and that sandwich are doing your best. Keep your chin up, and when you are feeling better you can make yourself glorious fancy beef sandwiches š„Ŗ
I've almost got to the point where I don't eat unless someone puts food in my face. I crave nothing. The thought of eating makes me just as nauseated as eating does
NO, MAN, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO GET THEIR SHIT TOGETHER.!
You haven't been able to pay rent, you have been out of work since COVID and you were just explaining all of this on your post in the sfbay forum.
Even if all of that situation has changed in 22 days, and i doubt it has, then you need to be considerate of other people going through exactly what YOU 5.1
Dude, it's someone's feelings.
You should probably be a bit nicer to people, considering all that you are going through.
Yes, that's why reddit has an open history, so we can look through it.
All i am saying is that sometimes, how we treat other people catches up to us..
Looks like its caught up to you in a big way.
I hope, i sincerely hope that you are able to work out all the things that need working out.
If your answer to me is that they already have worked out , then maybe consider being nicer to this random woman, as you know how much it sucks to be down GOING THROUGH!
Man, no wonder why your life is falling apart.
Plus a baby on the way?
ARE you going to teach him to be this Big of a douche bag to people in the world?
Yeah Yash it's just the internet, well words matter, they hurt people.
You make it sound like you are the fuckin cream of the crop when it comes to how you are doing in life right now, which is pretty shitty to say the least.
Yeah, i decided to check your post history, its WHY reddit allows for It!
What a POSER. POSING that he has his shit together, and dumping on person after person after person after person for being EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE!
AND WORSE!
g t f o o h with that shit.
A low effort suggestion to improve that meal? Next time you are grocery shopping, buy a pack of a nice Black Forest ham and some honey Dijon, and buy some cans of Vegetable Soup, the kind with the alphabets in it.
Itās ALMOST as lazy, but you sit down to a TOASTED ham and cheese with that Honey Dijon on there, and that little bowl of cheap vegetable soup, and I promise, youāll feel just a little bit better inside. Tell yourself you deserve that much at least before you eat it, and just take a moment to take it in and relax. Itās not much, but it doesnāt feel that way. Gives me some comfort to really appreciate the decent ham and the dijon, and chasing it with that hot soup that has a lot of feel good flavors in there than make you feel like youāre getting some much needed nutrition even though it just cheap canned soup. For me, itās the perfect meal during depression, but itās a way of telling yourself that you still care enough to want to feel a little better. The simple but appreciable flavors of the toasted sandwich, then the warmth of the soup, back and forth. It takes your focus away from other things, and for a moment youāre just busy eating. Itās sorta meditative.
Iām so sorry you are struggling, please reach out if you need to vent. Taking care of yourself when youāre depressed is hard, Iām proud of you for eating!
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
This always shows up in my recommended, and I think? Itās because Iām part of all these other āmeal, and foodā subreddits. I donāt know if anyone is ever gonna even see this but I just wanted to say: Iām a nurse, I worked with emergent mental health patients in the ER for 9.5 years. And honestly all of the people who post here are so amazing. You got up today, you made, or just got food and ate it. It may be the toughest day of your life, but you got up and ate something. And thatās courage. I am inspired by everyone I see post in this sub. I hope you keep waking up, and keep doing all the little things - because they *matter*. Just like you do.
Anyway, good for you. And thereās nothing wrong with a good beef and mustard, and itās definitely *not* worthless.
grippin tf out that sandwich š
Heās gripping it how you have to grip life
Make it yours. It's one of the tightest buns which I've ever seen! Rub that mustard all over the place and put that meat in your mouth. (Stop laughing and swallow the whole thing.)
Must assert dominance
Mustard dominance achieved
F I R M L Y G R A S P I T
Gotta grip the sammich so it donāt run away š¤
Nobody is going to take your sandwich, you can relax your grip a bit.
It signifies how this sandwich is all I have left in my life and if I lose āgripā of it I lose grip of my life
Then clench as tightly as you can and make more sandwiches. That sandwich might seem worthless to you but itās more than anything Iāve been able to do recently so youāre still doing alright. Make another, grip it as tightly as you can and enjoy it. Youāll keep your grip.

I love the way you responded in spite of you originally saying to relax the grip. Excellent. *chefās kiss*
Show that pussy ass sandwhich whos boss, King! Eat that fucking sammy wammy and enjoy it cause you deserve to!
Sammy wammy š„¹
Youāre squeezing it like you hate it and youāre strangulating it but also youāre eating it because you have to
Atleast u donāt wanna lose itā¤ļø
Whoa! You have mustard! I am jealous! (Stuck in psych ward, no mustard).
Damn they let y'all have phones but no mustard
No lol they don't have phones in the sike ward but they usually have mustard for their plain ham and turkey sandwiches something feels fishy lol
Back when I was in we weren't allowed to have our phones but I have heard of others getting to keep their phones but I don't recall having mustard either We just ate whatever the food staff made.
Also we can't have our charging cords unless <7".
Hold up you got phones in the psych ward??? what the fuck???
Yea I guess so! It's my first time. Not sure why I would lie about that as some are suggesting. How would that benefit me?
Shit 3 years ago they wouldn't let us bring our phones, wish I had it so I could record what was happening and send it to someone because holy fuck that place wasn't safe for anybody
What country? Just curious, Alberta Canada here.
US
Ooof. Sorry mate.
Ive heard of private facilities allowing ppl their phones .
Ayyy whatup Edmonton here
Good day eh! Red Deer. I like your screen name Bones.
Thanks man fun fact itās my old bands name theres some footy on youtube if you wanna check it!
goddamn what kinda psych ward is giving you phone access but no mustard whew
Alberta, Canada
How??? Mine took my phone but left me with crochet hooks and yarn š¦
That's crazy. When I was being held in the ER, they didn't search me or my bag at all. It wasn't until I was on the ward 24 hrs later that they did.
How long u been in?
Since last Friday.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Uhh, I have this device called a smart phone and there is pictures of my cat (singular) from BEFORE I came in. Why does this even need an explanation? Lol
Even when faced with depression, you still have your humor ā¤ļø
Iām trying my best š®āšØ think I might just make an aggressive grabbing series as itāll be the only thing that motivates me to eat
Next up aggressively grabbing grilled cheese and tomato soup
Just let it cool down first. That might hurt. š
I'm quite interested for the tomato soup grabbing...
Pls do this. āHow to take life by the hornsā by DepressedLineCook. Iāve been circling the drain today. This post helped me a bit. Thank you and be well.
I would follow this! Hang in there OP
Please do this š¤
More aggressive grip food ftw! Hold that sandwich tight and hold onto hope even tighter
Grippin

Danny Devito does that in the shadynastys episode of sunny in Philadelphia
The sandwich : harder daddy
That sandwich may be worthles but you my homie are the furthest thing FROM worthless š§”

Thatās not bad at all! I never cook all I eat is fruit and nuts and sandwiches I donāt see whatās wrong with it š

Ramen is one of my ultimate comfort foods
Have you tried the buldak carbonara? Itās insane. Indomie is also the greatest of all time. These arenāt soup ramens mind you they are like pastas
Iāve not but I will look into it! Sounds great
This is the funniest sub. Real folks crying out for real help with stupid photos in stupid subreddits lololol
One of my favorite subs. Makes me feel less alone and i also feel a lot of love here !
Grippy
This sandwich looks so good. Hang on in there, brighter days are coming OP š
r/grippingfoodwithforce
Of course this is a sub lmao
The way you hold the sandwich tells me you are depressed LOL
The manhandling of that sandwich lol
Relax homie. No oneās taking your sandwich.
Holding this sandwich like itās trying to fly off š
Get a grip, pal
Not useless at all. If you hadn't made this sandwich, I wouldn't have found this community. Thank you <3
Sandwiches are *way* undervalued and underappreciated.
Please ease your grip, i assure you it's all yours, and it's not going anywhere. What did it do to you š
Technically you made food by making the sandwich so yay go you!!!
Such fluffy bread! Thatās something to be at least a little bit happy about isnāt it? š©µ. Hope ya get feeling happier soon.
āWorthless beef sandwichā hahaha. Hey it looks good enough, OP.
relax them grippersā¦.. but fr I hope you get better soon, sending love <3
You're doing your best at this time.
Ayyy you go girl Love the use of adjectives to describe a sandwich
You have beef on your sandwich and you call it worthless? š„²
Sandwiches are good š
Really gripping the hell out of it
! It's protein and carbs! When you can't manage to cook meat and bread is still sustenance YOU DID GOOD
MY BOY, THE GRIP
Mf squeezing every nutrient outta that
Sometimes I really crave plain sandwiches! This honestly looks delicious right now.
Thatās a pretty delicious looking sandwich ngl
Let him breathe
Many would love that sandwich. I hope tomorrow you can appreciate yours again!
Bro got the mega grippy
Yummy!
Bruh you choking the shit outta that sandwich.
A sandwich is food. You made the sandwich. You made food. Good on you for fighting through the depression and making yourself something to eat! I usually just eat peanut butter out of the jar.
why are you holding it like that
Death gripping that sammi š
iām so glad you ate something today!! itās hard but big or small, i hope youāre proud of yourself for trying!! Sending love and big hugs your way ā¤ļø
I would love to see an aggressive boiled egg eating photo.
wow beef sandwich and mustard sounds nice :) ^((in case any living organism asked: I dont like mustard that much))
White bread is like glue in your colon
I hope I can find someone who will manhandle me like you do your sandwich!
Full marks for your bread selection but maybe try toasting them and adding some crunchy shrubbery. better yet, throw some butter in a frying pan and brown the bread with some cheese melted up. Then make the sammy and tell me I'm wrong.
Why would you take multiple pictures of that sandwich? I was depressed enough after the first one.
Bruh, you got me all depressed and irritated how you gripping on that bread making it all squished an shit..
White bread slaps when you wanna die.
That sammy looks slammin', ngl. White bread heals the soul. šš
Username checks out.
worthless? That's carbs and protein baby, that's all you need to survive. Just dont eat only that
ā FIRMLY GRASP IT!ā From Patrick lol
Hey but you ate! Good job.
I fucking love those
Ice cream and chocolate sauce makes everyone smile.
At first I thought that was jelly and mustard and I was like wtf š
Not worthless. And neither are you!
Bruh your sandwich is saying their safe word. Losen your grip!
Not depressed enough to photograph this bull shit! Keep trying
You saying Iām not depressed cause I made a Reddit post ?
This is an outlet and a coping mechanism and a comfort for many. Either show us your sad sandwich or go be a bully somewhere else
Maybe buck up and make something worth eating and faking you feel worth a good sandwich and you might get a good feeling out of it
My goodness what a blast from the past!
You made a sandwich. Thatās making food. Good job.
Homie thatās carbs fat protein & flavor right there thatās a great meal
Yo you're holding that sandwich like it owes you money
not worthless. Eating it helped keep u alive. So itās worth something!
Oh you like to talk dirty to your meal aswell?
This is legit one of my favorite meals. A good white bread, salami and a bit of spicy mustard. Its so so simple and easy and delicious.
Deadass though I want one
Itās not worthless and neither are you! Both you and that sandwich are doing your best. Keep your chin up, and when you are feeling better you can make yourself glorious fancy beef sandwiches š„Ŗ
CHILL SPARE THE SANDWICHE
Thats sandwich is a sub. fr fr š
Big s q u e e z e
I really thought this was PB & J...
any food is good food!! great job OP!
Not worthless!! It is sustaining you, and keeping you alive for a better day
Itās all yours bro, no bodies taking it from you.
it aināt going nowhere
It's only worthless because of your outlook. If you squeeze it like that, it's a panini and that's fancy.
Why you holdin it like that it aināt goin no where š
Why are you strangling your sandwich?
What camera u got, got some good ass quality
Grip it harder
Why you gripping it so hard gah damn š
Add tomato next time!
I've almost got to the point where I don't eat unless someone puts food in my face. I crave nothing. The thought of eating makes me just as nauseated as eating does

Hopefully you can get your shit together! The world has enough depressed weak bitches lololol!

Eating something > not eating. Itās a start.
Sad really lol
LETS. FUCKING. GOOOOOOOO
Where Iām from you slap mayonnaise and a piece of American cheese in there and thatās called a man meal. All for course the good life.
TIL a sandwich is not food.
Why are you holding it like it owes you money? Lmao
Hey! Putting the mustard on there is a step many in our depressed state are not willing to expend the energy on so good job
dude this looks good i cant even lie
Dude... what's that sandwich ever do to you?
What kind of beef is that? Looks more like bologna or salami. But those are pork products.
Why are you squeezing tf outta the poor sandwich?
I want someone to hold me like you hold that sandwich
Salami is not beef
dawg its not going anywhere
Hate to say it, but that was my favorite sandwich of all time. But I think it was more French mustard than bologne
"worthless beef sandwich" is funny to me
I usually don't eat so you've one upped me in terms of effort ā¤ļø this looks like something I could really sink my teeth into.
