    Family/friends telling you how you should eat is not okay to me, it can lead to EDs.

    It might be better to determine what is causing the anxiety - whether it’s stressors, trauma, fear of the future or past etc. before going down the diet route.

    You don’t want to put undue stress on your body by going on a specific diet that isn’t suited to you.

    If you do commit to a certain diet or nutritional change, ensure that you are getting all the vitamins and minerals you need as well. Vitamin/mineral deficiencies can lead to very adverse affects, as well as too much of certain vitamins (see that news article about B6 overdoses https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-08/vitamin-b6-toxicity-peripheral-neuropathy-health-supplements/104793006).
