[quote=Anonymous]My DD age 10 is a binger and late night snacker, and she also has ADHD and anxiety. She can’t self regulate at all, and does exactly what the OP writes about. Entire packages of Girl Scout cookies were disappearing overnight in addition to large bags of tortilla chips, ritz crackers, popcorn. I finally put a lock on the pantry at night. It has a code i need to enter, not a key. At first, for a week, I caught DD every night anxiously trying to punch coded into the lock. For her it’s clearly an anxiety thing. So OP you might want to consider anxiety on top of ADHD. Now that she knows she can’t access it she is still anxiously pacing around at night and can’t settle down for her. Thunder storm phobias, strange noises, spiders, you name it... anything except bed. We need to get her to a therapist and perhaps consider medication. The food binging was clearly masking deeper anxiety issues. [/quote]
