I am very scared as to why I'm losing weight so fast, can someone assure me that is an anxiety symptom please because it makes me think that something is wrong with me ... your comments will help me a lot .
It is defiantly anxiety Hun.
I lost 18lb in just short of a month.
I don't have health anxiety so the weight loss was only a worry to me because it was so rapid,not because I thought it was anything else.
I can promise you now,if you have been diagnosed with anxiety,then that is the reason for your weight loss xxx
you need a full blood test to see what you are defient in that will determine what your body is lacking in
Hi,
Yes I think you losing your wait because of anxiety because same thing I experienced. But I will suggest you to consult with your doctor.
The only thing I can think of that may make you lose weight and cause anxiety as well would be a thyroid issue, which is very common and very treatable. If you have been eating normally and nothing has changed, I would ask your doctor just to check it. It's a very simple test that would put your mind at ease. Regardless it's better to ask a professional, because sometimes fear of the unknown is worse than knowing it's nothing or it's something very minor.
I would like to tell you that I lost my 8kg in 15 days. But thanks to my dr. He made me normal
Yes I was going to suggest maybe ask for your thyroid checked also as this could not only be another reason for weight loss but also it can bring on anxiety xx
I did a blood work I'm waiting for the result.. thank you..
Thank you Gillian . I think I'm suffering from health anxiety because that is the only thing I'm worried about all the time ..
I don't eat like I used to because I'm pregnant I'm having all the nauseous feelings sometimes I force my self to eat.
You will be ok Hun. Anxiety takes a different approach with everybody.
Im not sure if you take antidepressants but I feel they do get you to a point where you are able to see the thoughts about your health as just anxious thoughts,nothing to worry about.
The weight loss thing. Don't give it another thought. As your anxiety reduces,that will sort itself out xxx
I had thyroid check last year and it was OK .. I don't know if it started to act up now..

I swear I would do anything for my appetite back. I'm on mirtazapine too and was hoping to get the munchies everybody talks about...No joy yet with that
Ahh see...you are expecting and it can be very daunting for us mums. Our hormones are all over,we are vulnerable. Perfect for anxiety to strike.
You just be gentle and kind with yourself and tell the anxiety to sling its hook.
Esier said than done I know but you do need to be gentle and kind with yourself xxx
😉
:p I will swap your normal for my lack of appetite.
I lost about a stone in weight over the period of a month at the height of the anxious period I've been experienced. I am started to gain back some of the weight and my appetite has returned. I'm still experiencing some anxiety but in no way to the extent I was previously. I'm not on any meds.
I myself have lost a great deal of weight lately. I cam off anti depressants last year which made me put on weight, and then a few months after I stopped the mnedication I completely lost my appetite and got bad nausea. I was sent for an ultrasound scan to see if my weight loss was due to anything, but all was well.
I am still losing weight and have saggy skin but as I am old it will not spring back. If you are worried, go to your doctor and ask for tests to find out if your weight loss is due to anything. Anxiety is affecting my appetite. sometimes I find it hard to eat. Please see a doctor and put your mind at rest.
Thank you Anne I'm waiting for my blood work report
Hi, let us know what the blood report shows.
