When I went to the grocery store I had anxiety the entire time and I wanted to buy all of the junk food I saw, go home, shut my bedroom door and have a binge.

She talks often about a 12 step program (AA, OA) which I am not completely sold on, but she talks about a lot of other ways to cope with emotional…
