was diagnosed with ARFID (basically restrictive eating behaviour) and now my body paid the price with oversensitivity of glucose level. when i travel i wear CGM like people with type I diabetes. generally i'm really bad with food texture, but at the time i was diagnosed anything chewy makes me throw up + academical burn out really run me to the ground
take years of behavioral therapy and crying over plates of food, no medication, now i rarely relapse to such mental space
i'm just glad we're at the age where diagnosis can help many of us accessing help, but i understand for some of us in this thread to be diagnosed is a mental load not only financially, but also socially like less opportunity of socializing and work opportunity. i just hope every day you all find living is worth it, and have a good support system here or irl
