what I eat in a week (when I'm feeling sad/depressed)

Welcome to a what I eat in a week video! I'm a grad student who loves to eat simple, quick, and delicious vegan food. This video is full of meals that you can incorporate into your every day life. I'm an intuitive eater that aims to eat mostly whole, nourishing foods, but also enjoys food freedom! I don't label any foods as "good" or "bad", I just listen to what my body needs and wants.
This video is a little bit different - I wanted to demonstrate how I eat when I'm feeling depressed. I hope this video can offer you some reassurance that it's okay to eat foods that bring you comfort regardless of their nutritional value. Food is nourishing in a multitude of ways and remember that everything we consume and do is part of the balancing act in the end. Thank you so much for listening to some of my thoughts on grief, depression, and how food is intertwined with all of this.
If you to connect with someone, this channel is a safe space!! Always feel welcome to connect with me on instagram or leave a comment - I will be here for you in whatever capacity I can be :)
Thank you so much for tuning in and be sure to subscribe if you like what you see!

Im sorry for your loss. Whenever we lose someone important in our lives, we never truly heal, but learn to live with that loss each day. I feel what youre going through, in a way id like to say it gets easier because all the love we had for the other person helps you heal in a magical way. We never stop missing them. It comes in waves, it comes and goes. But with light and support, expressing our feelings and slowing down, embracing this sadness and feeling them right next to us in each step really helps in a way. Im sending you all my love 💕

[@sydsly29]

Thank you for this and for your kindness. This is so true and I'm happy to have a place to express my love for my brother. Your presence here is very appreciated ❤️

[@PatlLawson]

Syd, I’m touched by your genuineness. I came here because I’m vegan, finding eating inspiration. You’ve delivered much more here today. Thank you, you are a lovely young woman. ❤

[@sydsly29]

I appreciate this so much, thank you ❤️

[@gabrielasimoes4714]

I´m really sorry for your loss! Just want to say one thing.... have in mind that he is here, he doesn´t have his body anymore, but your brother is here by your side and when you think about him, he can listen... so when you want to show him something... what is happening now in your life, he can see and feel your feelings :) greetings from Brazil

[@bethan3747]

i am so grateful for your presence here

[@sydsly29]

Thank you SO much. I appreciate you being here!! I hope I can continue to provide videos you can relate to. And yes, I've definitely found that restriction is never the answer, but it can be so hard to get out of that mindset. Wishing you all the best!

[@sophiebrettasker5808]

I always watch Gilmore Girls when i need comforting, or if i'm alone & can't sleep - the best comfort show

[@debraharding8007]

You are not alone, I also been through the passing of my brother my best friend. As days go by you learn to live in a different way, I have to say it is the hardest thing to do.Take care of yourself that's what your brother would want.

Hi Syd, I've just discovered your channel, and was already loving the food ideas, beautiful surroundings and chill vibes... Now I must tell you, this video has really helped me today. You have such great awareness of how to listen in to yourself and what you can do to support yourself in difficult moments/days. I resonated very strongly with your journal excerpt, and what you say about grief being a constant part of life that is always there. I hear you. Thank you so much for sharing 💙

[@sydsly29]

thank you so much for this thoughtful comment, I appreciate it more than you know 💜

[@mofeuer]

really love you videos really excited to keep seeing your content❤

[@by159w]

Commending you girl for fulfilling a dream while so far from your partner (best friend). Back in 2014, I was all over the UK for only a week while my boyfriend (now husband) was here in the states, and that was hard. I was dealing with anxiety and no prior experience traveling alone, but still had an unforgettable time 🌳🍃 I pray you can continue to find ways to make your experience away from home so much more memorable 🌠

[@sydsly29]

thank you so so much!!

[@itscarolinemary]

I just found you and I really enjoy your videos! You make such comforting and warm content that shows the simplicity and beauty in life. You’re genuine and you seem like a kind and caring person! You’re so talented at editing and narration! I’ve wanted to start a KZbin channel for a long time but fear keeps stopping me. Your videos are inspiring for me. I’m so sorry to hear about your brother ❤ thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings on grief and coping.

[@sydsly29]

Thank you so much for this comment!! I definitely think you go for it! But I understand the fear as well, I felt that way before I started too.

[@lia-forgmail]

I've just discovered you channel and it has quickly become my favorite. Your honesty, genuine openness, and creativity is so inspiring

[@sydsly29]

[@Berethnet]

Sending you a lot of Belgian love btw, hope you'll be feeling somewhat better soon :)) hug

[@sydsly29]

ahhh thank you so much, I appreciate it more than you know :)

[@LJH093]

My heart goes out for you Syd. Keep living, not just being alive, but living. You may not be able to tell your brother about your adventures, but you can live for him, for yourself. On the hard days do things he would love, even just something small like getting his favorite dessert, feel connected to him while still getting up and moving. When I'm missing someone who has gone, I write them a letter. Everything that I wish I could tell them, then either burn it, or send it down a river. With the ocean being so close you could send it away with the tides (with biodegradable/nontoxic paper and ink of course) Little by little, we let go of loss But never of love 🤍

[@sydsly29]

Thank you for this... I write to my brother frequently and I think sending it out to sea would be a great thing to do

[@balancinglifewithem]

My heart goes out to you ❤

[@suzannemccabe386]

I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your brother but he is always with you just like you noticed the birds flying that is a sign of that and that he is in a good place 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️ Also I want you to know that you should write a book you are very good and poetic with the words that you speak about your life and emotions ❤❤❤❤❤

[@sydsly29]

thank you so so much, I truly appreciate your kindness

[@joannescott9443]

Sending love, thankful for your energy and authenticity. I stumbled across you and I'm glad I did :) your faux pas make me giggle xx

thank you so so much, I'm glad you did too!!

My prayers go out to you & your family 🙏😇🥰

words to live by: "never underestimate the power of a cute outfit" girl. so true. I also stopped my bike ride yesterday to pet a lil stray cuutie who was asking for pets

[@Fatima.Zahra.Sy1]

It was so refreshing to see normal pancakes instead of banana or protein ones😅

[@PotterPalace509]

this video touched my heart! I believe movement is medicine!! my mom died in 2018 and I just felt called to dance and move and I'd cry.. I think it's just moving the grief through us in those raw moments! I'm sorry you've had such a loss. I believe your brother is with you especially in those times you really miss him! I LOVE Nora Cooks I use a lot of her recipes! What are you studying for your masters? how wonderful to be able to experience Sweden.

[@sydsly29]

I'm sorry for your loss as well. I really appreciate your kind words. And yes, I agree, movement is medicine!!! I study cultural heritage and sustainability - going to school in Sweden has been amazing!! thanks :)

[@user-fw5wb4rt2n]

Thank you for sharing and opening up about how you are feeling. I can totally understand that being abroad and having new experiences confronts you with your brother not being there anymore to share things with. That must be really hard! Glad that you have already found some friends over there. I always find it hard to make new connections, especially when I am feeling down! Sending you lots of love! Btw: where did you find this nice brown lamp that you have next to your bed? Your place is very nicely decorated!

[@sydsly29]

I appreciate all your kind words 💜 the lamp is from a local shop in my city - thank you so much!!

May I ask you where you are studying? ☺️ I also moved to Sweden a few years ago and I now live in Lund😇

[@sydsly29]

I'm on Gotland! I hope you're enjoying Lund - I would love to visit there :)

[@m122h]

How did you steam the carrots and broccoli? Did you add water to the pot?

[@sydsly29]

Yeah just a little water at the bottom!
