Same thing happened to me and I am underweight for my size and age (39 years old, 6 feet tall male). I went from 165 to 155 in two weeks because it was hard to eat with my anxiety. As I was able to cope with my anxiety, I have been able to eat again, and am back up to 159 pounds. My only advice would be to try those protein shakes that muscle builders use if you have a hard time eating, and/or of course, talk to a pharmacist, doctor, or therapist. Or maybe a dietician. Someone who can help you eat right with your anxiety. I hope that helps at least a little.

Me to but it has stopped reducing naturally. It’s kind of self regulating. I get nausea at the thought of eating even when I feel very hungry, so I eat healthy food when I’m feeling okay and “comfort” food when not, for example chocolate, biscuits etc as well as bananas
