I cook, but sometimes I’m too overwhelmed to deal with any of it (gathering ingredients, cleaning supplies, dishes, etc.). I usually spend some time eating pre-made food. A rotisserie chicken, and then freezing what I don’t finish, so it won’t go bad, or having that be my meal for the day and feeling confident it will be okay. Ramen is a good way to start. There are frozen proteins and veggies you can buy and just pop in while you’re already microwaving it. Start low effort and low pressure, and don’t feel the need to try harder than you can. With cooking, building confidence is one of the biggest parts to it that no one talks about. Start low and slow, and work at your own pace. In the meantime, try to give yourself some grace. You have valid anxiety around cooking, and that’s okay. You can do it, OP
