Hi, yes i have this and know of many other anxiety sufferers who have lost weight. Are you still eating?? I know when my anxiety is bad i stop eating or eat very little. i have list about 1.5 stone in a month. I am overweight so i can stand to lose these pounds.

Yes, in the past I have lost a lot of weight due to anxiety, a lot.
Whereas now that I could do with loosing some weight and I seem to put more on when I'm anxious.
Anxiety works in misterious ways!

i've definitely lost weight due to anxiety at least a couple of times - your body is supercharged, muscles tense etc - it effects my blood sugar as well, i've noticed. my doctor says this is normal.
also, 6 lbs over 3 months isn't irregular weight loss, so i wouldn't worry about that - though if you're underweight, definitely look at your diet, see if you should be eating more, and most importantly discuss all of this with your doctor, because they know best.
