    AS and eating to alleviate overload - anyone experienced this?

    No idea if this is an AS issue or just life.... I've used food to deal with the moments when feelings build up to breaking point for as long as I can remember. It's often at the end of the day, when the melee of kids, untidy house, work, tiredness suddenly hits and I feel an intense need to...
