I can't eat much at all.

Anxious people only have time to worry and are usually in their anxious zone, and the body doesnt want food, in fact when im  going through anxiety spells I think food is the last thing I think about! So yes, your body doesnt want food when ur anxious..atleast mine did not! in fact i hated food, i get weak and zoned out@

We don't gain because we eat more, we just gain.  No relation to diet at all.  Probably slows the metabolism of those of us who gain.

I have! I was just diagnosed with severe GAD and Panic Disorder, and had my first panic attack on June 19, 2009. Well, since then I have lost a lot of weight. But it didn't happen all of a sudden, its because I cant seem to eat. I really want to eat and really try to eat but I cant. Some days I can, but other days its like food seems gross and I just cant sallow anything. I don't know if that's the case for you, or if you just lost weight all of a sudden. Well , hope this helped :)
