If anxiety causes weight lose I should be a stick figure.

 

[Fairyxo]

I don't want to lose weight, i'm perfectly slim and healthy.

Besides that. Anxiety makes me frequently stay out at school all day without eating lunch, smoke like a chimney, not sleep enough, and so on. On the lower end, my weight levels off around 150lbs (at 6ft), and I can't seem to keep it much above that for more than a few weeks at a time.

I've started to get the same issues as person86. Anxiety makes me not eat enough or really anything at all, couple that with smoking, insomnia and a coffee addiction and I'm losing a lot of weight inadvertently.

I believe it. When I have a long period of persistent anxiety, I can get pretty skeletal.

I tend to overeat when Im anxious

I tend to overeat when Im anxious

Me too. When I'm around people, I find it difficult to eat. But as soon as I get home, I tend to raid the fridge. The anxiety and stress goes home with me. That is why I like to workout. It helps burn off the adrenaline and cortisol.

Well, I did lose like 5kg when I was really depressed and anxious a few months ago. I gained back 1kg when I felt better but lose an additional 3kg when I was terribly anxious and paranoid a few weeks back.

It causes both undereating and overeating. Probably a terrible strain on your body. I was almost 120 at my lowest almost 200 at my highest. I hate comfort eating.

 

[jenkydora]

Well, from what I was to believe, stress kept you portly around the middle, but I get extremely nauseaus so I wouldnt eat when very anxious either, so :wtf

Ditto. :yes

 

[Eraserhead]

During one of my worst periods of anxiety, I lost quite a lot of weight, mainly from not eating. I've since turned that around: I use food to quell my anxiety, and have gotten awfully corpulent.

 

[Dreamcatcher]

Due to anxiety/stress, I've lost nearly 70lbs in the past 2 years.
