Does anyone here lost their weight because of anxiety? Cz i feel like losing weight and lost my appetite too
Yes. I have no appetite at all when I get bouts of depression and anxiety. I always lose a lot of weight but can’t really help it. When you feel so awful it’s hard to eat, made me sick
I have exactly the same thing I have no appetite at all and have other problems so I am now panicking that it’s something else as I am showing all the symptoms! 🙁
Definitely I lost weight I was only 7st to start with I went to 5st and very frail I had to go away to get built up it's terrible trying to eat when you try and eat but keep heeving
I hv always very skinny, but with anxiety i keep getting skinny. I know i eat in a small portions but somehow i lose it more than adding. And anxiety makes me thinks that my losing weight is because something else! Like disease or anything.
Me too lea! It's annoying. I went to Dr sooo many times and my mom got bored of it because everytime my symptoms shows up (belly ache, diarrhea, shaking, pain in upper left chest) my Dr always ask me to eat more and healthy. Also to sleep well. How can i do both when i hv anxiety?
I also only 6 st since i graduated. Can't get back up. It's just i need to adding my weight so i don't get sick all the time. Build immune system etc. Even without anxiety it's so hard to adding my weight, and now with anxiety i don't know how to do it.
I'd ask your doctor for the ensure drinks there quite nice also a dietician can help with putting on weight they did with me just try you've nothing to lose.
Definitely has happened, i was so scared that if I ate just 2 bites of food I was full and I didn't need to eat anything else, I still have my appetite but it isn't as heavy like I used to eat 3 times a day and some snacks but now. I'm not a big fan of snacks and I'll wait on food for hours without eating. Still loosing some weight now I geuss
You're right. I still can eat but often i didn't finished my meals. I feel like retching during my meals. I don't like snacking too unfortunately. I think i should exercise more to add my appetite.
Yep! When my aniexty calmed down a I coul actually finish my meals and I was happy because I didn't wanna become so skinny, but after checking my weight it said I was 95 ponds but looking in the mirror said other wise and I was so confused so after reading my weight I was happy and my health anxiety calmed down a bit
