    Act 7: Incapacitating Food Frustrations

    I can’t keep food down, I’m wasting money on food that I can’t bring myself to eat. I don’t want to stop what I’m doing to eat. I don’t want to eat but I’m sordidly hungry. Nothing helps, everything is closing in. Is this normal functioning?? (sorry for the background humming)

    Act 4: To Eat or Not to Eat…ugh

    Choosing when and what to eat has really served as a challenge for me…ESPECIALLY when I’m on a schedule and i forget to schedule time to eat. This has gotten so bad that I’ve went to sleep hungry because I couldn’t make a decision or it was too late to eat. Anyways, have a listen. #timemanagement #executivedysfunction #autisticinertia
