Self-Soothing Edible Mask for the Anxious Stress-Eater
I was inspired to create this Self-Soothing Edible Mask as a way to bundle all of my anxious coping mechanisms. I have found that I find our daily necessity to wear face masks to be a comforting thing for me— being a sufferer from social anxiety, having the excuse to not interact or at least the semblance of a protective barrier has been a soothing experience for me, rather than a restrictive one. Making the Self-Soothing Edible Mask, itself, is a coping mechanism as I use baking to calm myself regularly. Lastly, the edible nature of the mask is the most soothing part for me. Being that I am sure that I am not alone in these anxieties and coping mechanisms, I have created a recipe so that others may create their own.
