and all I wanted was to get home.

Food makes me anxious too.

I want to lose weight for my health, but now every bite brings worry.

I’m holding onto hope for support around this.

How do you deal with anxiety around food or in general? I’m all ears.

Thanks for reading.

Together,

Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well this week.

Lately, anxiety feels like it's winning more rounds than I’d like to admit.

It’s stopping me from doing things I want to do.

For example, I went for a simple blood test, and bangβ€”a full-on panic attack hit.

No warning.

My heart raced,
