Coming Out pt2 in Current Events

I figured out the source of my severe anxiety from a couple weeks ago and I have been making some major changes to my lifestyle. To combat my cystic acne issues I was debating quitting dairy. Then somebody posted a video of a guy rapping about why he is a vegan and it fucked me up. “That’s 56 billion animals each year that are sent to slaughter. That’s 56 billion animals that you can feed and water. That’s 8 times the fucking human race’s population yet we can’t stop hunger and poverty in every single nation?”
I have not been able to eat meat and dairy without a guilty conscious. Even the smell of meat and cheese had started to make me nauseous. I had a 48 hour anxiety attack because I didn’t know what to be putting in my body anymore. Since then I haven’t been perfect but I haven’t had any meat or animal byproducts in the last few weeks. All month? This journey is not an easy feat. I’m not someone who spent a lot of time in the kitchen but now I have to prep all my meals. I have been learning so much so fast. I just wish I had more support. I am constantly educating myself about this lifestyle because I am constantly being challenged. Nobody believes that we can get everything we need from plants. I’ll share the video that changed my life because I can feel his frustration. Coming out as gay was easy. Coming out as vegan? “That’s not a healthy lifestyle and I don’t agree with it.” I’m on a journey here and I’m still learning. My roommates had family over for a BBQ yesterday and people were curious to try a lot of what I had prepped in the fridge for myself and wanted the recipes. The ladies were hyped to try some healthy alternatives. Also I make a lot of east indian food which is a hit. I made falafel patties for myself to sub out the beef patties yesterday. I never even had a falafel before then. I am pretty confidant that I can do this. I can’t explain how different my mind and body has been. I don’t burnout in the afternoons like I use to. No naps or more coffee. When I get out of bed in the morning I’m ready to go before I even touched my coffee. It’s like having long energy instead of fast energy if that makes sense. Making time to meal prep is the hard part. I’m use to the instant gratification that comes from drive thrus and ordering in but those options are extremely limited.
