Hello, has anyone else lost a lot of weight caused by anxiety,I have lost over 2 stone and as I was only 8 and a half stone to begin with I am terrified that i could have cancer,its a vicious circle as the more I worry the more I lose weight.Thanks in Advance PS got full blood count done last November and it was negative but keep thinking that I may have it now and I stupidly don't want to know,never ever thought that Anxiety could be so cruel and disabling .
anxiety can cause all sorts of things . have you been eating less because of anxiety?just go get a check up. There’s nothing worse than thinking and thinking about what if this and what if that. that’s worse than actually going and getting a test .
I learned it’s easier to “rip the Band-Aid off” then to obsess over things. It’s just mental torture. you said it’s a vicious circle and it’s an endless circle if you don’t take action.
anxiety causes people to have fears and negative thinking that are not based on truth or reality.I try to remember that. Hope you feel better soon.
Hello Jan, thank you for your reply,you are right about the Band-Aid, I am just making myself worried sick and I should know better as I am a retired nurse.Every morning I wake up and immediately the worry starts,never in a million years would I have imagined myself having anxiety.Your reply has convinced me to see my GP although I am not a coward I am still concerned about the outcome.Anyway thank you so much and although you might not believe me your reply has made me feel a lot better already,Thank You Maggie x
