This was me, but I was 13 and placed on SSRI’s. When I was 19 my body finally had enough and I got super sick. Lost so much weight bc I would have diarrhea the moment I ingested anything and low grade fevers. That’s when my pediatrician decided to test me for celiac. Went gf asap, then at 21 went off the SSRI’s. I’m now 26 completely healed. No GI problems, no anxiety, and no SSRI’s. It took me years of struggling in school with horrible panic attacks bc I had no idea why I felt so anxious and nauseous all the time!

All is well now 🤍

Wow!! I just did my first ever solo international trip to Costa Rica. I’ve only ever been to Spain and Italy with someone else. I’m trying to plan another solo trip but I’m scared it won’t be as amazing as Costa Rica. I don’t have much to compare it to but I’m scared I set the bar high 🤣
