Sorry to bother you again.....

[Sheik N Shimmy]

Has anybody here experienced dramatic weight loss over a fairly short period of time? Has it been explained by anxiety?

I feel I'm on the road to recovering from a bout of anxiety that has lasted more than two months. In that time I have lost about a stone and a half or 20 pounds. I'm down to 12 stone and was 13.5 stone.

Several people have commented on how much weight I've lost (which gets me worrying again!!!)

Any feedback much appreciated.

HeyE,
I have the mind over mood book and weightloss can be caused by depression and i think anxiety too, i know depression is linked to anxiety so that could explain it.
Hope this helps

Hi sheik, Dont worry about it I lost well over a stone to last lot of anxiety I had over 2 years ago. I was back and forth to doctors I realy thought there was something wrong with me, Now my arms leggs and tummy are so much thinnner I was always around 13 stone 9 Mainley tummy) but am now always around 11. this happened when I had the last bad spell of anxiety and worrying just made it all worst. I am glad now as I can fit into normal jeans and cloths and it had to be anxiety as I am ok now. Take care. Vernon

When I first had anxiety and was acute I dropped well over a stone in a few weeks - when you start to feel a little better it soon comes back though so dont worry about it.

Love Piglet.:)

"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

When my anxiety was acute I lost about 23 Ibs over a matter of weeks even though I thought I was eating normally, it's all part of anxiety mate.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
