weight loss and anxiety

This is happening to me. I've been having severe anxiety and panic attacks with a loss in appetite. Ive been making sure that I eat- I even have days where I feel ok and eat normally- but I can't stop losing (slowly) and I definitely can't gain. I have severe health anxiety and I'm terrified that I have cancer. It's taking over my life

Hi I've just been told I've got a cyst or granuloma in my throat, I'm worried sick about it even though the ent doc has told me it's fine and the chance of it being anything bad is 0.5%. But over the last few days I've been losing weight unintentionally I'm really worried that this is something sinister, I do suffer with health anxiety so that's not helping.

I was taking buspirone and gained 20 lbs while on it. Later when I was off them I quickly lost it I was very depressed and felt like s**t. It's hard for me to gain weight that'd why. I have a high metabolism and when this pills made me gain weight I was happy .. Anyways I'm still thin now. Where's my buspirone??😭jk Depends on what's the cause are you depressed?/Have you been eating? It's probably the medication you are taking read the side effects. Good Luck💖

i hope this post continues. i, too, have health anxiety. have lost about 15 pounds in the last year, faster loss in last few months. i think the internet really feeds our problems b/c of the excessive amount of information that may or may not be factual. main stream media contains so many pharmaceutical commercials that instill the fear of every known disease and many that are "new", to sell their wares. when so many of us have the same issues and find no relief from doctor after doctor and test after test, we really must be ok, but our mind won't rest. i have stomach pain, gas, bloating, and constant post nasal mucus drainage, both of which interfere with my life, my thyroid hormones are all over the place with each successive test but no solution yet. so many things! how can a health issue not have an anxiety producing effect to some degree for anyone, but especially to those of us prone to anxiety in the first place. on one hand i feel like if i could just surrender it all, stop checking in with myself on how i feel, stop checking the internet for clues, it would work itself out. i have read that ibs is psychosomatic, which makes it part of the anxiety loop. anyway, i would like a source like this forum to discuss with others dealing with the same thing(s) to refer to rather than the wild google searching that only leads to more anxiety. it's comforting and maybe we can help each other when we find things that work.
