Yes I certainly have. Not too long ago I went from 113 pounds to 105 pounds in just a week due to my depression and anxiety and lack of appetite. It's very possible! If your always nervous (like me) or always having panic attacks, it can raise your metabolism and adrenaline levels and cause your body to burn extra calories.

I lost around 15 pounds during my last bout of depression and anxiety. I just didn't have the sense of hunger that I normally did. I gained it all back quickly when I recovered.

I lost 40 lbs in 2 months due to anxiety. When my anxiety gets really bad I stop eating.

Yes I lost 40kg from anxiety as I was so nauseous and vomiting a lot I could barely keep much down. Then I started eating but had lost my appetite that I had to force myself to eat.

Yes .. I usually lose appetite and get stomach problems with it. So yeah i lose weight unfortunately x
