This is a major problem for me which I'm not quite sure how to tackle.

I live in hope that I will get some strength to start dealing with my "issues" but at the moment I can't.
It does make me feel very low as I have had this problem for years and there is little understanding given to it in relation to anxiety.

i have a major issue with this. Sometimes eating is the only way to calm myself down. then i put on weight and feel crap and so eat more- viscious cycle continues....

I don't comfort eat but my friend did, she gained lots of weight when she was depressed.
I think you have to break the cycle some how.
for her it was over comming her depression.
then she relearned how to eat and changed her views on food.
she still gets craving but doesn't give in anymore.
she joined a few exercise class's.
replaced junk food with healthy but tasty food.
