When Support Drops, ARFID Gets Louder

They didn’t stop caring. They just ran out of capacity.

When you’re navigating ARFID day after day, the meals, the distress, the negotiations, the constant holding, something eventually gives.

Not because you’re doing it wrong but because you’ve been doing it alone for too long.

And when support drops? ARFID doesn’t step back… it gets louder!

This post is about that moment, The burnout, the shift, and why families get stuck there.
