Many people have taken to social media to give their condolences and share tweets Jas posted overtime recently where she spoke of having anxiety.
I’m tired of sheltering in place with my anxiety. Most days is nearly debilitating. Hence, the cooking simply for the calm it brings. So if you’re struggling just to keep the fear of the unknown in check, know that you’re not alone. I’m with you.
