  |
|
Hello. I am a 30 year old woman with anxiety. My major symptom is weight loss. After having my 2nd child April of last year, I experienced rapid weight loss. At this time I weigh 115 pounds at 5'8" tall. Before I weighed 130. I work part time and have 2 children. I don't have an anusual amount of stress in my life but for some reason my body and mind is overly anxious. I eat large amounts of high calorie foods and still can't keep the weight on. I do not have an eating disorder.
After recently throwing my daughters birthday party and loosing 4 pounds in a week, I've realized this is not normal. I feel like the weight issue is out of my control. I will gain a few pounds back after a stressful event, like a party, but I stay around 120. Then a function comes along and I drop 5 pounds in a week. My doctors have completed every medical test possible on me - checked my thyroid twice, etc. I'm perfectly healthy. I feel like the next step should be therapy. My mother and grandmother are clinically diagnosed OCD and are on meds. |
