navigating arfid, ocd, and food shame: my mental health story

Jazzmyn Proctor Season 3 Episode 28

I always love engaging with folks! Whether you have a question, want to say hi, or have a topic you want to hear me yap about- I would LOVE to hear from you

in this solo episode, i’m pulling the curtain back on a part of my mental health journey i’ve never shared in full—my experience living with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (arfid) and ocd. from being called a “picky eater” as a kid to navigating food anxiety, sensory overwhelm, and shame as an adult, i’m sharing what it’s really like to exist in a world that treats eating like it should be easy.

i talk about the social stress, the textures that send me spiraling, and how therapy + meds have helped me find some grounding. if you’ve ever felt alone in your relationship with food, this one’s for you.

this is the start of something more—more honesty, more connection, more healing out loud.
