View Full Version : Appetite Problems
Anyone else struggle with their appetite due to their anxiety? It's a vicious cycle because when I can't eat I worry even more abou losing weight. I'm not exactly big as it is I weigh around 155lbs or 10 stone and I'm 5 10" I've already lost some weight due to my lack of appetite does anyone know anyway to overcome this and start eating more again and regaining an appetite?
I have gone through cycles like this where you are not hungry and you think that it is a symptom. For me the only thing that works besides medication is exercise and getting enough sleep. Hope this helps.
exercise is a good one but normally i dont feel like bothering when suffering anxiety.
dare i say it but when my anxiety is at its worst and the thought of food makes me feel sick, the only thing that helps is a glass of wine before a meal.
I am the opposite to this I tend to binge eat. Maybe try meal replacement shakes?
I've tried milkshakes but still don't feel like I'm getting enough calories etc. I know how you feel Darren I get the same, it's almost like I have to force myself to eat

When anxiety hit me the first time I was about 13 stone but boxer lean. I still managed to lose 20lbs in the next 6 months though, I found some pictures of me at about 11 stone and I looked starved. I still wasn't hungry though.
It's worth keeping an eye on though, and maybe start keeping a diary to make sure your calorie intake isn't too low. It should be at least 2000 per day, preferably more if you have weight to put on.
It's so tough forcing yourself to eat when you don't feel hungry and have no interest in food. It's really getting to me
