I’m new here!

Hi, my name is Shaina. I've been diagnosed with a mental health condition called ARFID. I am looking for guidance/advice, a community of like minded people, sharing accountability & support. I know the health journey can be discouraging , helpless, & helpless at times but I’m here because I know deep down that there’s more to life than this & that things can get better. I know we can heal ourselves day by day. Let’s hold hands & walk this path together.
