Has anyone else experienced weight loss due to anxiety. I am a small person to begin with and I keep lossing more weight. Don't seem to have an apetite. I hate it when people notice it and say something about my weight loss. I think I'm being overly sensative right now.

Barbie,
I too have experience weight loss so much to the point that I was tested for diabetes. I don't know what it is but sometimes when I'm feeling anxious I get nauseated to the point of acutally dry heaving. When I'm depressed it's even worse. I can't even swallow. This morning I woke up extremely depressed, but there's no way I could choke down food right now even though I'm starving. I wish I had some great advice for you but I don't. Just know that you are not the only one with this issue.

Hello bardiedoll and jurgray,
I am on my second week into the program and I too have severe depression...as well 12 years after that, the panic attacks started. I had no choice but to go on medication because I too had lost 18 lbs in three weeks. I was slipping fast and could no longer find my footing.I learned through that time and with the help of my great doctor that all the years I had battled with the depression my brain does not make the proper chemicals it should. Everyone is different in this world and it took me a very long time to face the fact that I had to be on the medication. My Dr. and I have worked hand in hand to find what has worked for me. I took him in the program to look over and asked if I could be taken off the meds. He had said that in time I can try cutting back, but will I ever be off of them? Highly unlikely. I am who I am...I am proud of myself for getting the extra tools to be better in many ways. I hope this helped u both.
Be well..

Hi Barbie
I too have experienced weight loss due to anxiety and depression. Like Jugray I would dry heave and have trouble swallowing. What I did was drink things like ensure and nutrament. That way you are at least getting some nutrients and you won't feel so weak and lightheaded.
I've had people make comments about how much weight i lost but when my doctor put me on zyprexa and my weight ballooned they made comments about that. People are always going to have something to say.
