yeah thats really rough, i understand and it sounds like youve probably tried everything i could suggest
fwiw im a pretty bad eater, and if i buy junk food shit i will absolutely just eat it for dinner instead of making proper meals, so i always make a point that its much easier for me to exert self control briefly when im at the supermarket than all the time at home, and prevent myself from buying all the junk food shit. i tend to snack on a lot of cashews, which at least have the advantage of having protein and being kinda healthy. and also muesli bars. and having foods around that are slightly-more-effort-but-still-easy for those times when my head is really fucked - pasta with a jar of sauce, canned beans and rice, etc. spinach is my go-to veg for just shoving in stuff for some green with no extra effort, although it is kinda expensive and does go off. ive also been really fortunate to have a supportive partner who loves cooking and has helped me embrace making more shit. but yeah i realise this stuff is not always possible for everyone
Yeah, I'm allergic to all nuts, and a ton of seeds, and some other random stuff. I get by being vegan by cooking 100% of my meals; I'm always that person with packed meals, and safe snacks stashed around for emergencies. But also, while it works for me, it is work, and I understand similar people in my situation sticking with 'easy' carnist food. Though I also do enjoy cooking, even if it might be a bit stockholm syndrome; even when I ate meat, I still cooked mostly, as eating out is a stressful gamble for me in most cases.
