How do you all deal with feeling like a burden to family and friends during crisis because sometimes I just want to have the super power of helping myself. I feel this way with friends let’s say around 55% of the time especially when I was in the university it was crazy.

I was 15 when I first noticed that some foods causes me to go into crisis more often than usual. So I read more on nutrition management and foods that could make me go a long time with out crisis. currently The longest I have stayed without crisis is 7 months not much but better than once every month.

For breakfast -: bread, scramble egg avocado with freshly squeezed orange( if it ain’t freshly squeezed it isn’t passing my throat)
For lunch & dinner -: fish/meat pepper soup and yam with palm oil. Anything from this I will not eat it.
