rejection of food

[libra83]

When my anxiety is too high I can not eat. I try to eat, But just looking at food makes me sick and I prefer not to eat then to throw up. Does anyone have this type of symptom?

[NancyW]

Yep. Eventually when the anxiety subsides, my appetite comes back. I have lost a fair amount of weight during particularly long episodes.

Yes, definately.

Anxiety makes you nauseous and just like when you feel sick, eating is the last thing you want. Anyone who's ever had a hangover will know that one :biggrin:

It may be because you worry about being sick?

I remember worrying how food changed how I felt. It used to up my anxiety terribly.
