Foods

[Blurryphaced]

Currently I am in the middle of getting an autism diagnosis so I suppose that sort of explains why having lunch tomorrow with my year group is freaking me out. New food out of routine + social = bad times. My year coordinator asked about what food I would eat (I am vegan) I said don't worry but he insisted. Now it is tomorrow and I don't know what to do.

Hi @Blurryphaced, this sounds like a difficult and overwhelming situation. How are you feeling this morning? Is there anyone you feel comfortable with that you could sit with during lunch to make you feel more relaxed? Or are you able to sit somewhere more quiet and not as busy? I hope it all goes well today, you’ve got this!

Hey, I'm vegan to can empathise with it being tough and feeling awkward getting people to accommodate to you. How did it go? How are you feeling about it now?

Sorry i’m late @Blurryphaced  but I just wanted to ask, how did it go? how are you feeling now? i’m vegan too so i can definitely empathise with the feelings of anxiety and stress that may arise eating with and being accommodated by a bunch of (sometimes judgemental) meat eaters. i hope you’re doing okay ❤️
