I believe good nutrition can help with mental illness as well from a physical and psychological standpoint. Nourishing your body helps to maintain steady energy. Also, taking time to take care of yourself can lead to increased feelings of self-worth.
Respectfully, I don't believe going home to live with parents should be off the table. There are many factors at work in this situation therefore I just don't believe "toughing it out" at a job that is not suitable for her at this time is sound. Especially if her parents provide a supporting environment that is currently lacking. It is not a sign of failure to return to a place where you received treatment and felt at peace.

Going back to parents house is a disaster plan not a viable option. You have a job. Go home and shower and nap and have good food to eat then draw or paint for an hour. I used to count the days till the weekend when I would allow the artistic impressions to fly onto the paper.
