Hey I’m Matt and I’m 18. For years now my main goal has been to gain weight. I never liked the way I looked and have been bullied in the past for being “too skinny”. Those comments used to get to me but I eventually embraced it and noticed that the weight gain would come naturally.
In March of this year I hit a huge milestone of mine (150 pounds). And I was so happy playing tennis everyday and eating like a horse...then came lockdown. Once lockdown came, I was very inactive, didn’t have the biggest appetite, and noticed my weight dropping! I began to overthink this so much to the point where it gave me anxiety and eventually had no appetite at all! I dropped down to 143!! My hardwork was being shredded. The last time I was 143 was in July 2019...
I recently joined a gym hoping it would do wonders but I just got COVID (which is ironically something I’m not stressing about) so I can’t go now. But I have noticed even more weight loss with the virus in me? I’m down to 140 now... I’m honestly so upset and feel empty. I’ve actually been eating fairly decent recently. Could this be caused by a mixture of COVID + inactivity + anxiety?
That’s what my brain thinks but my health anxiety side of me is thinking cancer.
I’ve been having on and off pressure headaches, waking up fatigued and anxiety recently.
Anyone been through this or have any thoughts?
