Apologies to those who may have read earlier posts of mine, have tried not to come here for a while to give everyone a rest from me constantly going on about the same thing.
The short story is I have lost loads of weight recently. It started when I had tummy problems for a while. In the end I went to the gp and because I had convinced myself that it was something serious she sent me for blood tests for stomach/bowel/pancreatic/ovarian cancer. She said it was the only way to put my mind at rest. The tests all came back fine but the reassurance I felt was very short lived.
Im going through a really stressful time and have been for quite a while. To say Im not coping would be an understatement. The gp has just changed my ADs again and has also given me diazepam and propranalol but the anxiety is totally out of hand. I wake up very early and straight away I am in full panic.
When i last saw the gp I brought up the weight loss again and she said its down to my anxiety. She said Im so wound up and pacing back and forth all the time that Im burning off any calories from the food I eat. Also my appetite is virtually non existant, I literally have to force food on myself.
I know I should see that the way things are is making me lose weight but I just cant. Im totally obssessed with it, wouldnt dare get on the scales or look in the mirror. I am making myself ill with the constant anxiety but dont seem able to stop.
