Anxious about a work party with lots of food

I would say give yourself permission to not do this today then. You don’t owe anyone an explanation nor your presence. If it’s going to cause you more harm to do it then don’t. If you’re at work, do work. Do the best you can and try not to think about the rest. If people get mad or upset at you doing what you need to do, that’s their problem not yours. Sending love ❤️

The thing is I can't do that. And it's hard to socialize when there's food around. I like go into this like shell and am not the person I'm normal am. Ugh. I hate this.

Just say you're not hungry or you just ate and then socialize without worrying about the food.
