ANXIETY AND WEIGHT LOSS?

[@cherellethinks]

IMPORTANT: Unfortunately, I won’t be responding to Instagram messages anymore. I hope you guys understand. It’s not an easy thing for me to have to say. Back when I first started my channel I had very little subscribers so this was something I could do easily but now as my channel has grown and that I’m a mother to two very young children, it’s impossible for me to respond to everyone. I currently have 92 unread messages in my inbox and that’s only from last week. I’ve also been getting a lot of rude and hurtful messages of people saying that I’m fake because I’m not responding or sending me message after message demanding for my attention. It’s been getting me so down and people have said some horrible things. I know how it feels when you’re desperate. Truly, I do. I’ve been there and it’s sucks. But please remember I am just one person. A lot of people are also asking me for medical advice but please remember I am not a doctor. I’m just like you. If you want to get in touch, I offer health anxiety talking sessions which you can book here - cherellethinks.setmore.com I also have a health anxiety support page on Facebook that I interact with a lot. Just type in ‘Health Anxiety Community’ and you should find it. Lastly, I also do regular Q&A’s on my Instagram too where I can answer any questions people may have. I hope you understand and it’s never my intention to upset anyone. There just isn’t enough hours in the day. Thanks so much. X

Same here. Lost some weight...immediately my thoughts go to cancer. But, I've also changed my eating habits to eliminate sugar, but that is disregarded in favor of the worst possible case..

[@randomthoughtstoday]

Cherelle you're such a beauty. As for health anxiety I've had it forever. I've found my solution is actually the king james bible. Let me explain, I'm far from a big Christian but what my mind has taught me is that if we leave all the problems up to God and let things In his control we have less anxiety. Anxiety over health happens over lack of control and if we learn to let that go and give it up to Gods hands to take care of, believe it or not it can help Cheers beauty 😊🥰🙏

[@aaronandrus6623]

I love your comment and I too have severe Health Anxiety in which I’m battling at this moment… I really needed to read that and I hope your doing well!!!! God bless

[@jennygibbon3395]

I think it’s the central nervous system preparing for fight/flight. Appetite is suppressed incase you have to run away to survive. The less in your stomach, the faster you will get away.

Hi Cherelle, I live in the U.S. My anxiety started two months before the pandemic broke out. I had a torturous cervical spine surgery. I was I a hard collar for seven weeks. I went through hell, then with the pandemic and watching the news all day, I was having panic attacks convinced all of humanity was going to die. I check my temperature and my throat several times a day! I finally got on medication. It helped so much, but after five months I thought I didn’t need it anymore. I took myself off. I was great for a year and a half. Then it started again., Started losing weight. About ten pounds. Constant butterflies in my belly (adrenaline). Back on meds and gaining a few back. Now I’m told I need a breast biopsy after something showed on my mammogram. Trying not to overmedicate. Scared, but I’ve heard 80% of biopsies are benign. Trying hard to be positive 😳

[@hansallsfables9640]

After my first sequence of panic attack, I went on a terrible research spree. That's when I realised Google was my enemy. But thank god I was able to find one person who was able to genuinely help me.

[@gli17b]

Absolutely! I had a period of time I dropped a good 15 lbs and a friend of mine who had anxiety disorder dropped 30 lbs in a month and she was completely freaking out. As she recovered all of it came back

[@ramyathangavelu4337]

How did you recover amd regain your weight back.. im just 92 lbs and still losing.. was 110lbs 6 months back

[@gli17b]

@@ramyathangavelu4337 just anxiety recovery. It was postpartum for me and I went through outpatient program and on a tiny dose of meds and as soon as it started working my weight came rushing back little by little, the med also helped with weight gain, then I gained too much and when I stopped the med I was back to 110. My friend didn’t do the med route and took her months to recover but she bounced back real quick too. Now I look at my belly and thought oh dear... but I rather be fat and healthy haha

[@izlitty5674]

I’ve been very anxious about health recently and I’ve had a strange appetite along with it, its like my body rejects the food even tho im hungry, I struggle to finish a meal anyone else??

[@toddhosmer711]

I lost 20lbs in a month from severe anxiousness thinking I have ms or als

[@kiranr8892]

Thank you for video, it’s so hard not google things. I’ve lost weight due to anxiety’s. Especially I google my symptoms. I hope everyone gets a speedy recovery.

[@reginaburks9204]

Yes, Iam currently dealing with anxiety. And I’ve lost weight.. Iam already tiny.. I can’t afford to lose much more. Trying to get this under control 😟

[@dan4235]

how are u doing right now? im going through the same thing at the moment

[@worleyzack]

I was trying to bulk for workouts and I gained 25 lbs and now I got anxiety out of no where and I've lost 7 lbs. It really sucks.

[@justinlinares642]

Yo same here

[@bethanw9269]

So interesting! I usually gain weight when anxious and I think the reason is that I become too anxious to exercise. Nowadays when I notice I’ve not exercised for a long time (like not even going for a walk), that’s usually the first warning sign that I’m not doing OK emotionally.

[@jjcole8885]

Did you ever drop weight even when your eating fine? This is a struggle with me and I have health anxiety and panic disorder

[@zammouriaya5812]

same here i am eating quite fine but i didn't gain any weight.. i run punch of tests and they all come back clean.. i guess probably it's a matter of time gaining weight is as much hard as losing it it needs lots of work.. but having anxiety can make things harder wish you all the best

[@anthonym9716]

Definitely makes sense I believe some peoples metabolism speeds up and some slows down and when people are stressed they tend to binge eat or don’t eat at all

[@bina.zmdmfnnattitydenll1945]

Thank you again for being you. I was just thinking bout this . I eat less because i get anxiety when eating thinking i will choke on every little rise bean or whatever i eat. Its sooo hard

[@saraldawood]

oh thank you so much for this video! this is me right now!!

[@lizzysullivan2892]

Thanks so much for this video! I have severe health anxiety and have been struggling to eat this last couple of months, keep feeling bloated. I’m trying to eat because losing weight will just confirm my fears! 😩 My bloods came back normal. Doctor doesn’t seem too concerned but has ordered an ultrasound as a “precaution”...this of course has sent my anxiety into overdrive! I wonder if we lose weight as we burn off anxious energy? 🤔

[@LisaSimpson692]

Hi Lizzy, I hope you’re feeling much better now. I know this was from a while ago but how did the ultrasound go?

[@fastingfools200poundweight5]

This helped me a lot, especially right now on my journey.

[@bluwng]

Same except I’m a guy and it looks bad for a guy to be so skinny and I’m already thin to begin with.

[@Caz_2087]

Oh Charlie, you are me. Every dam word is me. Im still in the battle of trying to put weight on after every bad episode of mine just adds one on the other and i cannot put the weight back on. If daily anxiety, depression, ocd, ptsd, health anxiety wasnt enough to deal with, feeling so unattractive being so thing is adding to all my stresses and mental illnesses. Im sick of the battle x

[@sikrandall83]

Lol its ironic you chose to do this video now. I'm far enough in my journey to not be googling every little thing that happens to me, but I've had elevated anxiety issues with physical symptoms lately. 2 or 3 days ago I randomly stepped on the scale before getting in the shower and noticed I was down about 3 lbs. Been obsessing over it since. I have had every test under the sun done to rule out cancers this year. Ultrasounds, x-rays, blood work, upper gi endoscopy and a colonoscopy. Everything she is saying here is almost dead on accurate and relative to me. For anyone else experiencing this stuff I know it's hard not to make everything a catastrophe, but these things are part of the journey
