Can stress/anxiety/depression cause you to not eat a lot?
Yesterday I only ate a slice of wheat cinnamon bread, some chips and queso, Sun Chips, and a frappucino.
Today I've only eaten two slices of wheat cinnamon bread, a little ice cream, and a glass of water.
When my body tells me I'm hungry, I eat something but get full really quickly. I also have an Adjustment Disorder. It is a combination of depression and anxiety. I have a hard time dealing with stress and I get anxious really easily. I just talked to my therapist on the phone and she says that I am more depressed than she initially thought (I haven't told her about the not eating yet). So I have an appointment to see a doctor who will determine if antidepressants are right for me.
Sooo.... is it normal to not eat when your stressed out or anxious? Should I be concerned? Has this ever happened to you?
Thanks in advance!
