Do you lose your appetite when you are stressed? Normally I struggle with compulsive overeating, and my meds have also hugely contributed to massive weight gain. But lately I've been under a lot of stress from a lot of different sources. It's flying at me from all sides - personal, family, school/practicum. I feel so fragile emotionally, and my appetite has almost completely disappeared. It would be great if i could lose weight, but I want it to happen because I'm being healthy.
