For people with ARFID, food is never “just food.”
I’ve been working with teens and adults for years in San Diego who have ARFID. My heart goes out to them.
Having ARFID often means you live a life misunderstood, and, chances are, medical providers misdiagnose you. It’s so isolating.
You may have a hard time keeping on weight. You feel uncomfortable going to restaurants and eating in front of other people. Friends and family often say to you, “Just eat,” or ask, “Why can’t you get over it? It’s just food.”
If you or a loved one struggles with ARFID, here’s a reminder that you don’t have to battle it alone. Help is within reach. Click the link in my bio to check out my services and schedule a free 15-minute consultation, or send me a DM to learn more!
