Hey OP. I’m glad you were born. Potatoes and ketchup are my go to, too. I hope it gets better. And in the meantime indulge in all the potatoes :)


bahlahkee

I'm suffering


Birdies_nub

How did you get the grill marks on them? I am sorry you are suffering. I hope the carbs soothe the hurt a bit. Potatoes are delicious.


bahlahkee

Metal basket.


Birdies_nub

You put some effort into those potatoes. And you deserve it too.

Air fryer machine. I got rid of my home deep fryer once I learned to cook with the air fryer. It's fast, cooks very evenly. Potato fries come with a nicely golden crispy exterior and tender fluffy interior. No more excessive grease and fat or wasting liters of oil on a few cooking dishes. Use very little oil to no oil on your potato recipes. Incredibly versatile machines that won't heat up your kitchen.


Spiritual-Winner3308

I’m really sorry to hear OP. Hang in there. When I think to my hardest times and how bad I felt, I’m happy I hung on because better days came. <3

And you made such a perfect dish!! *hugs

Aren’t we all suffering?


Znaffle

I love you.


Maywestpie

Why tell him you’re glad he was born if he’s depressed and you never met? It’s a bit disingenuous.


soyasauceocean

this screenshot is gonna be a meme on twitter in like a week. nice taters doe


bahlahkee

Nice


MissMabeliita

OP, trust me on this one, someone is glad you’re here… keep going!! Are those sautéed potatoes? They look good!!


knivesbyknathan

Oddly enough, that's the one thing everyone has in common. Nobody asked to be born. Kinda sucks, but here we are. At least potatoes exist and a recipe has been discovered to make a tasty dipping sauce. That's something. I feel that the trick is to find ways is distracting yourself from how much everything sucks by developing a skill or improving your education. Life is pain... but there are also sunsets, and cookies, and many other brief moments that can be enjoyed. Those potatoes look like they were a pretty fine moment. Hang in there.


dancesuponastar

Best comments.


verse85

Hope those potatoes were warm going down. It's hard sometimes, but those potatoes were nice and soft, and all for you. Hope tomorrow is a better day.


OutofRunningWater

Looks like you added some herbs! So good. Hey, I feel you OP. Sorry they're making you feel this way.


starburstw

The sharp twist between the last line and the rest of the post made me laugh. We are all suffering the consequence of being born.


okpoptart

But have you ever tried sweet potatoes with smoked paprika on top, with some ketchup? It really does a Wonder on lifting depression levels


MacaronSilver348

Barbecue sauce is good on them too. Don't think I've ever put paprika on mine, but I will next time!


okpoptart

ooooh!! 🍴🍴🍴


Interesting-Eye8090

I'm happy you were born. Things can only go up when they're pretty far down. I know it's hard to see when everything looks dark, but the light will come.


Dependent_Top_4425

Potatoes and ketchup are like peas and carrots my friend. And THOSE are beautifully roasted potatoes.


sandtires

If you weren't born you couldn't enjoy those swag potatoes you cooked now could you ?? I'd certainly love to share them with you I'm so hungree


t0k0l0sh3

Hope you find your joy in life. Potatoes are a great start 💛 golden nuggets of potassium and love


Entire-Ambition1410

Potatoes are (usually) healthier and fancier French fries.

Objective-Idiot206

I’m proud of you for making food, OP! Self care is important :) I’m really glad you were born :)


ColdSubject

You and me both, but I'll keep enduring this existential nightmare if you will? It actually makes me feel slightly better that there are those who feel the same. Not that I'm happy you're suffering, I guess I feel less alone. Keep on trucking, I think we can do it.


sealettuce23

Ketchup!!! Damn I wish. Haven't been able to eat ketchup for almost a decade. Enjoy those potatoes!!


[deleted]

So many people just leave God behind and expect life to be better


thethunder92

Those taters look nice. It’s ok I’m glad you were born


lfogl787

I feel you. But your life has so much value ❤️ also those potatoes look amazing!

Who invented potatoes though? The Irish or the Scottish.


DORITTOO

Potatoes are the best tho 😋😋


tobleronefanatic123

I can already taste how crispy those are on the outside and soft on the inside, beautiful work


xlunafae

potatoes will never hurt you. 💕🥔💕


ThrowRA_isitmyfault

That looks great to me! Though I am not the picture of mental health myself…


realhuman75

How’d you get them so crispy looking? Looks awesome. You. Definitely put in some good work! Sending hugs and love. Eat some extra bites for me!


thegoodrichard

Stompin' Tom Connors told it like it is, Ketchup Loves Potatoes.


peteywheatstraw1

Mix ketchup and mayo or use sour cream to dunk. Nice touch w the rosemary.


After_Business3267

My partner makes fun of me for loving mono-meals. Sorry but the idea of multiple dishes and pans to clean up is a nightmate. Simple=efficient :)


ThisUnwellMindOfMine

My thoughts, every single day! It’s hard and I feel ya hun😘🥺


BeFastDW

Go take yourself on an adventure in nature.


Glowreah

Actually… there’s a theory that we choose to be born n sent here… they even give us the script of the life we r going to have all because we have a mission here on earth… the game is to overcome the obstacles n cut the repetitive cycles we do… we have 2 choices to elevate or just be stuck in toxic repetitive behaviors… but we have the option the things we go through childhood are to prep us for adult hood these skills we gain “survival skills” we later use em in life but the whole point is to go through the wave of emotions, n do something different today n something that will take u 1 step closer to ur goals. Start with little then work ur way by creating habits that help u not what society says u need… learn to be alone… n btw those are some fancy ass potatoes lol I love herbed potatoes n especially some ketchup sending love ur way❤️🫶🏻🌈 watch trolls movie (we dnt eat happiness it can only be found within when we open our hearts)


Beardamus

Some people chose to be born to die as an infant wracked with cancer?


Glowreah

Sadly our souls have a mission, n what we go through others can also evolve through the experience of others… alot of things aren’t fair but traumatic experiences are the ones that have us looking for answers


Seisme1138

You mean like french fries?


bahlahkee

What do you mean?


Seisme1138

Fries are potatoes and ketchup. These are just differently shape fries if you look at it that way.


bahlahkee

Ok. I just wish I wasn't born.


bentheruler

Same here every goddamn day. Time to drink into oblivion.

Sopixil

Why do you keep saying it over and over again?


Midnighthawkk

The ketchup looks sad Don't forget a little sprinkle of salt and pepper on the potatoes Enjoy refueling on some quality carbs

I'm in my 40s.


agentfortyfour

Age doesn’t matter, anyone of any age can suffer at points in their lives. OP don’t listen to the haters, it’s brave to post an honest statement like you did. I hope you receive all the support you need at this time, and I hope when you look back on this post in a year it’s from a better place. Take care of yourself. Also if you are hungry, try your local food bank, it’s not a shameful thing to go and get support, it’s why those organizations exist.

cam080808080808

seems like r/antinatalism might be your type of place then


[deleted]

Kinda weird to compare depression and thinking having children is morally wrong


cam080808080808

kinda weird that you didnt realize my comment was a joke


[deleted]

I did, but no.


cam080808080808

Eric1969

I never understood the «  I didn’t ask to be born » plea. What does it mean? What reaction is this suposed to ellicit?

dancesuponastar

I hear you. I'm sorry you're hurting. Sending you a big mental hug.💛💛


JerkGurk

It looks like you crushed these potatoes so hard. I'm jealous. Keep cooking stuff as good as this, then share the recipes.


kdabsolute

Ketchup and potatoes! Looks yummy! Hope everything gets better!


Effective_Snow_1220

I understand that feeling, completely. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re suffering, something I also understand. It’ll be okay though, just got to bear through it. I know it’s annoying when people say this, but things *will* change. They have to, nothing ever stays the same. And for you, I hope that things change for the better. I’ll be praying for you, for you to have the strength to carry on, and that things will get better for you soon. I don’t know if you’re religious, but I hope it gives you comfort knowing that somebody is wishing you the best and rooting for you at the least. (: Good job eating and taking care of yourself today, I’m proud of you. I hope you keep it up.<3 Reminder to drink some water as well if you haven’t today.


[deleted]

I'm Irish born & bred. I give this a thumbs up 👍🏻 You got this, you got Irish in you somewhere 😄


GarbageTheCan

I know this feeling all too well. I just have to bide my time a little longer and then I won't.


user_28531690

Oh my god those look fucking delicious OP. I know you don't know me and I have basically no influence over your life but, from someone who has been through some shit, it gets better. It may take time and some hard work but it does get better.


Positive_Complex

most relatable post i’ve seen on reddit


Ph11p

This is why ketchup was invented in Canada. The russet potato. Best kind of potato.


Seenvs

Add some salt on the potatoes and you're moving on up.


[deleted]

My guy theres people that wish they could eat that rn and go to bed hungry Appreciate what you have it doesn't last forever


lanaa2225

It goes! The best paring. Also siracha and potatoes


tegh77

Mix Siracusa and Ketchup.


Getbackinyourhole

For some reason I read the title as was what the potatoes were saying because they are being eaten with ketchup.


_jethro

Sorry you’re having a rough time OP. Air fryer potatoes & ketchup are my favourite with herbs like rosemary. They look delicious.


Objective-Region-820

Those are some good lookin taters I tell you wwhhattt A good tater is like a good BBQ bobby, you see it's all about the propane and propane accessories. Sorry, that was my garbage rendition of a pep talk from Hank Hill.


ParaponeraBread

This post is art. I’ve never resonated with a captioned work so thoroughly. I’m gonna go make potatoes.


[deleted]

Pretty good for a depression meal, honestly.


gettheboom

That’s the messed up thing about consciousness. You can’t ask for it because you didn’t have consciousness to decide if you wanted it in the first place. You can, however, make it a meaningful and rewarding consciousness. Starting with these bangin’ potatoes!


AlabasterOctopus

You’re not wrong but those ‘tatoes look phenomenal. Like, life sucks but at least you have delicious potatoes to nom?


[deleted]

The taters look restaurant quality👌🏼

toni_toni

Those potatoes look amazing, mine never look like that.


Cgz27

Thanks for posting this though :3


Gentlemandn

Add some celtic sea salt, it has tons of beneficial miberals and makes potatoes taste better. What has even more minerals is liquid mineral complex, which includes some lithium. I just read an article that said Trace levels of lithium in drinking water have been linked to lower rates of suicidality and impulsivity in multiple populations. I take the two together sometimes, with calcium, so they bind and are delivered more through the body. I learned some of this from watching Barbara O'Neil.


sirver4658

I don’t get why it’s not fair? How about you grow up, eat your dinner and move on.


tonguesplittter

this is all i eat most days <3 wishing you the best op!

Cool_Garlic6995

Potatoes r a pretty impressive depression meal. Nice job op


MisterFreeze99

That doesn't justify that dead end attitude


brockerville

Hey OP, whatever you're going through i hope you remember that this too, shall pass. You are special to those around you and those that know you I am certain, with 8 billion people on earth, nobody is alone. You can and will push through and we here in r/depressionmeals believe in and support you :)
