Hi, friend! I'm hoping I can make you feel a little better, so I did a little research! The green in potatoes is chlorophyll (which is why it's important to store your taters somewhere cool and dark) and chlorophyll can mean that there's a compound called solanine. But fear not! You'd have to ingest A LOT of spuds for any kind of solanine toxicity to really harm you. A good idea would be to cut the green parts of the potato off and, most importantly: if it's bitter, don't eat it!
You're gonna be just fine, palski! I know how awful anxiety can be, so I hope this helps just a little!
Here's an article I found: https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/can-you-eat-green-potatoes/
