Follow up to my Food Rescue at the Farmer's Market with crippling anxiety this last weekend.

I failed.

I did not go.

I woke up and quite literally could not move. Everything came to a head and my body and mind gave out.

Could not will power through it.
Could not muscle it.

So. I managed to eck out a shame filled text to a fellow organizer that I wasn't able to go. They acknowledged and that was that.

But here's a cool thing.

A thing that gives me hope and happiness.

Look at the attached screenshot. Look at the feedback of what happened at the Farmer's Market. Look at the pictures of the group that *did* show up.

Look at what happened without me (in a very good way!).

We can't all do it all alone. We are not MEANT to do it alone. We have to do it as a group. We have to allow any one person to take a break, even a long one.

You don't have to do it all alone. You can do a very tiny bit as you are able to WITHIN your comfort zone.

I crashed this entire weekend. And you know what? I have things that I can do this week (and look forward to doing without anxiety because this is the part that I love to do) that will help out the group.

They helped me as they were able. I will help them as I am able.

We've all got this together.
