Raiken said she's has issues with anxiety and panic attacks in the past, and being home has made her feel less anxious consistently. However, she'll experience burst of anxiety over what she classifies as "little things." For example, she explained that one night she was making dinner and she felt like she got "extremely anxious for no real reason. . . . I just kept pacing back and forth and moving things around in the kitchen — things that I didn't need and wasn't even using."
Raiken also struggles with unhealthy eating behaviours. "I do have an eating disorder. It isn't a critical one, but it is one where I skip meals frequently and have body image issues," she said. And, being home due to COVID-19 hasn't helped. "For about two weeks, my first meal of the day would be at 6 p.m., which is when I had dinner with my family," she told POPSUGAR.
To cope during this time, Raiken said she goes on walks or drives by herself and talks with loved ones over FaceTime. Having a video call with her best friend while doing homework keeps them both motivated. She acknowledged that one problem she does have is speaking about her mental health, but she likes to spend more time doing the few things that help her as opposed to discussing it, she said.
