Does any one experience increased appetite with anxiety? I use to have no appetite when I was sad and anxious in the past but this year the wheels came off. After loosing a lot of hair my anxiety and appetite started to run away with me. The hair loss was due to iron anemia and has been resolved but I am still constantly looking for something to eat, thank goodness my obsession with food has almost totally gone, I am on medication for my anxiety but I think a contributing factor may have been the thyroid medicaation I was put prescribed. It may have increased my obsession/hunger as it increased my metabolism. Has anyone else had anxiety and an increased appetite, what can we do to stop this? I long for the days that I had a normal healthy relationship with food, when it did not bother me, when it did not follow me every where I go. The days when I could just be.
Kind regards,
