The stress hits differently when meals feel overwhelming.
It can be a real challenge to navigate textures, smells, or sounds that make eating stressful, especially when others assume itâs âjust picky.â
Hereâs what we know:
-Sensory sensitivities and ARFID arenât a choice. Theyâre real experiences that deserve understanding and support. Your bodyâs limits arenât wrong.
-Your nervous system isnât being difficult. Itâs communicating what it needs.
You donât have to navigate meals alone. Try:
-Explore texture-friendly substitutions at your own pace
-Practice mindful, pressure-free mealtimes
-Work with professionals who understand sensory eating
-Gradually introduce new foods in a safe, supportive way
Support exists to help you create a nourishing, stress-free relationship with food.
