As long as she is not losing weight or experiencing delays in growth or development, continue to offer her a variety of foods for lunch without pressuring her to eat. She is at a developmental age where it is natural for her to assert her will and try to control her world, and deciding when she is hungry can safely be delegated to her. Alternatively, she may have had an experience during mealtime at daycare that made her uncomfortable eating there--depending on her ability to verbalize, you might ask some gentle questions to see if she can explain. But overall, if she eats when she is hungry and is receiving a balanced diet otherwise, there's probably nothing to worry about.

The choice to take medications for any mental health issue is highly personal and can only be made on a case-by-case basis. That said, there are many therapeutic avenues which are highly effective for anxiety, such as quality CBT and mindfulness exercises, which I always recommend be tried first. My suggestion would be to find a therapist in your area who specializes in treating anxiety disorders and can help arm you with the tools to battle your anxiety, and if you and your provider still feel you need extra help, you can always seek medical help.
