		<description>bro, you should just eat what we called Thong Farn - Soup Rice. Cook some stocks and let them simmer while u work. Once cool, separate them in individual packing. Freeze till use. Then use some vege, meat or seafood or even egg. Sauteed the ingredient till fragrant, then add in the rice and stir for under 1 minute. Then pour in the stock. Simmer and season ( less than a minute ) Its easy, nutritious and simple. No salt for you though.</description>

		<description>I too can echo these sentiments of yours.  Somehow, someway you must keep the hope alive, and you will be lifted out of this spiral.  Think about something, anything small that would help you, and post what it is that will help you.  Someone will read it and come to your aid, but it may not be in the form you think you are asking for.  

I am sorry and very sympathetic to what you are going thorugh .... I too had a terrible accident and I am a single mom caring for a disabled child.  I acutally start to feel sorry for myself sometimes, because the pain coupled with my responsibilities becomes almost unbearable.  I feel like a failure and that I am lettign God down by not getting better and fighting harder.  And then I am reminded that someimes the lesson is not in fighting harder, but in remaining more silent and finding that peace even in the deepest of pain and dispair.

Patience.  Patience.  Even if you stay in your current state for even longer, it will not last.  Something will change.  

Be careful.  Depression and hopelessness is a black monster indeed.  It had Churchill in its grips for long periods.  You will emerge.  Be careful with your strength.   Do not push yourself harder than you can mentally handle.

My prayers are with you.  

Don't be shy about venting how badly you feel.  People who have not been in your position cannot possibly imagine the pain you go through even though they try.  Its ok to vent it out. Its ok to let it go, and then someohow you must move on and leave the despair behind.

Peace and hope and may somethign to ease your burden come your way soon.... sometimes you just have to be specific and ask, even if it does not come right away.

Focus all your energies on yourself and finding your way back to peace and balance.  

AND DO NOT GIVE IN TO THE FAST FOOD TEMPTATIONS, it is an immediate gratification that has consequences that last far too long.  I usually bring my own food along to one of those restaraunts because I too cannot eat that kind of food.  I find one small thing on the menu that will not devastate my system, and then I get the pleasure of being around people and changing from the day to day activities that can drag a person down.

You are so valued.  And I am sorry very sorry about your pain. May this terrible period pass sooner rather than later.  But if it later rather than sooner may you find peace within the pain and depression and emerge stronger than you thought would be possible.</description>
