Has anyone lost weight due to their anxiety? I weighed myself a month ago and again a few days ago and I’d lost 6lbs. My clothes also all feel looser. I feel like I haven’t changed my lifestyle although I have been more anxious than usual over the last few months, which has made me eat a little less (though my diet is still bad? I eat pizza often and snack), and I also have OCD and my compulsions (check this, do that etc) have been worse over this time too so I guess I’ve been moving more.
Could the weight loss be down to these things? I weighed myself again yesterday morning and I was 2lb lighter again than the other day, but it was morning and I hadn’t eaten anything so I’m trying to convince myself those are the reasons for that.
Everytime I wear my clothes and feel them being loose I get anxious because it reminds me.
I have told my doctor over the phone and she told me it’s common with anxiety and wants to see me in a few weeks to discuss my anxiety and check me out, I’m just going over the worst stuff in my head like “What if I just keep losing weight? What if I’m a few days I’m just skeletal?”
