Can i tell me how i can stop abusing food to help depression and anxiety disorder?

There is help: You need to find the right help for you. Are you using food to try to calm yourself down? Are you stuffing your feelings? Be encouraged that you are asking the right questions. If you can figure out what's going on underneath the food abuse, you should feel some relief. You might benefit from therapy and/or overeaters anonymous. Good luck and keep us updated.
