only fitness food box i have been writing at my last answer on what are you grateful for
hola, barbara! you're in for a rocking good time. dinner is an all you care to eat meal, served family style. the menu is chock full of american comfort food from the days of yore and it's served up on the patriot's platter. at lunchtime, you have individual entrees available to order. there's a strong patriotic theme to the lunch menu too. hi, tara! every doctor is different with regard to your post-op regimen. by four months, i was on regular food, but you still may want to talk to the chefs at the restaurants. once you've been gastrically altered, protein is your very best friend, so they may be able to adapt a meal to make it heavy on the proteins. i even had a chef make me a pasta dish without the pasta on one of my walt disney world trips post-op. for the most part, you should be able to browse the menu and find something, but if you don't see something you think you can safely eat, you can ask for something else. you'll learn once you have your surgery and start eating real food again that some things are more tolerable than others, and you will want to stick with the things you know you can eat. i speak from experience that it is no fun to try a new food on vacation and end up laying on a theme park bathroom floor until your stomach feels better! talk to your surgeon to make sure you know what his dos and donts are, browse the menus at allears.net to see what is typically on the menus at the restaurants you want to try, and go from there. i'm so excited to have a new neighbor in loserville! good luck with your upcoming surgery, and if you need me, i'm right here! don’t feel guilty. i think a lot of people feel this way at some point after having kids, but no one wants to be honest or talk about it. is it not having time that is making you depressed? or is it the loss of freedom? i am a stay at home mom to a 2 1/2 year old and went through a lot of the same things you’re describing. i can tell you that it gets easier to find time as baby’s sleep gets more predictable. past that, we wound up “splitting” most weekends. i sleep in on saturday morning, and my husband sleeps in on sunday. after i wake up on saturday, he usually goes to play golf, and i go to the movies or brunch or something on sunday. i wish i could give you a magic answer, but you just have to play around with your time and see what works best for you. the worst thing you can do is let yourself get into a rut. try to talk to your wife openly and honestly about what you’re feeling. you do you. if you like it, eat it. i personally like to mix catalina salad dressing into my cottage cheese and have it on buttered toast. may be gross to everyone else, but i'll be dmned if i care what anyone thinks, nor will i ever stop eating it. just be careful afterwards when eating, you don't want to pop out the clot and get dry socket. i had that and wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. i love that you decided to go big with the deluxe dining plan. if you're a foodie, you will appreciate the flexibility this plan offers. each night of your stay, everyone in your family will receive three meals and two snack credits. your three meals can either be quick-service or table-service. the main difference between the deluxe plan and the standard disney dining plan is the number of credits you receive (with the standard plan guests get one quick-service meal, one table-service meal, and two snacks). the only other distinction is the deluxe plan allows you to order an appetizer and dessert with your table-service meals, whereas the standard dining plan allows guests to order dessert, but no appetizer. otherwise, all guests order off the same exact menu. the only items that are not included on any of the dining plans would be menu add-ons, called enhancements. also, monsieur paul in epcot has an upcharge only if you decide to eat off their prix fixe menu. something else to note is that some restaurants are signature restaurants and will require the use of two table-service credits. guests on the deluxe plan often forgo one of their meals that day (usually breakfast) and use their two credits on a signature experience at one of the fine dining restaurants. my personal favorite is california grill. also worth noting is that beverage options are now available for all the disney dining plans, including nonalcoholic specialty beverages and, for guests 21 and older, beer, wine, and cocktails. Life is what we make of it, so it is really YOU yourself who give your life a purpose. If you feel you need friends, go out and make friends. If this is difficult for you, look up for ways to make friends. There are many sites that give good tips. If you think you need to pep up your life, go out, get a hobby, try something new, be brave and explore. You will not change your life if you don't try.Ultimately, it is down to you to make the effort to do something about it. Sometimes the best way to feel cared for is to go out there and share your love with people (that's why people who volunteer at old folks' homes, shelters or orphanages find joy in what they do - the more love they give, the more loved they feel).   

  

But having a busy social life and having thousands of friends will not make you happier or less pathetic. Try to rethink your values on what is 'pathetic'. Whose values and perspectives are you basing your assumptions on? Who's to say your life is pathetic? Some people have very few friends and don't go out much and can still enjoy their lives because they acknowledge that they don't need to be part of the crowd to be happy or have fulfilling lives.   

  

Also, if you still have family who give you food and shelter and don't abuse you, it's unfair to say nobody cares. More than likely, you're experiencing Compassion Fatigue which is defined as   
 a condition characterized by emotional and physical exhaustion leading to a diminished ability to empathize or feel compassion for others, often described as the negative cost of caring. It is sometimes referred to as secondary traumatic stress.  
  
Google it, and take the test online to see if you suffer from it vs. burnout; there is a big difference. Here is an article on the subject:

Please don't ever think of yourself as a horrible, careless person! We are all human and as such, have our breaking points, especially after care giving for years on end. Don't think of yourself as some being that should be able to handle all that's thrown at you without breaking down........that's not realistic or healthy. Nor is it realistic or healthy for you to be in such a position to be a personal caregiver to a mother who's been so sick for so long. A nursing home is staffed with teams of caregivers who work around the clock precisely so that one or two people don't have to suffer the tremendous burden that you and your father have been suffering. You're only two people doing the job of a large TEAM of people; so it's no wonder you're feeling this way.  
  
Wishing you the best of luck in finding peace and joy for yourself amidst the duties you've taken on. if your chest muscles are sore to touch or the pain can be reproduced with certain positions or movements, it's not serious and will improve with rest/time. but if you get a tight, heavy, or squeezing feeling deep in the chest with exercise such as walking or lifting, it's time to see your doctor as this may indicate a more serious problem. see more... A. It is not a surprise that you feel good when you are high on drugs; that is what they are designed to do. It is one of the main reasons why people use them. They make you feel good but they can ruin your life. Many lives have been destroyed by drug use.

LSD is particularly dangerous. It is a potent drug that has been linked to psychotic disorders. Make no mistake about it, you’re risking your mental health each time you use a drug.

Your drug use has already negatively impacted your life. You have not been officially charged with a crime but you’ve been close. Your luck could change.

You said that you despise school. So do many teenagers, but they still go to school. You’d be hard-pressed to find many teenagers who, if given the choice, would go to school voluntarily. There are many disadvantages to not finishing your basic education. Like drug use, not finishing school will be detrimental to your life.

I strongly urge you to seek counseling and to stop doing drugs. If your drug use continues, you risk getting into trouble and developing mental health problems. A mental health professional can treat the problems you have written about and facilitate your development of important problem solving skills. Please take care.
