I have that problem to life-threatening levels. I've never wanted to lose weight at any point in my life, but here I am, wishing that weight gain was as simple as doing whatever makes normal people fat. If I try to eat under the influence of anxiety and/or stress, the softest of foods go down like sandpaper and hit my stomach acids like a bleach and ammonia cocktail.

Yea, yea, my chubby friends, I would happily let you have my problem if I could. Careful what you wish for.

Yes I have a similar issue. When I am very anxious I don't eat my appetite is gone. Not that I am nauseous or anything just there is literally no appetite. I was so annoyed with myself while on my NYC trip because there was so much wonderful food around me but I had no want to eat it.

Slowly as my nerves calmed my appetite came back. Its interesting because I snack when I get nervous (driving in traffic) but I guess this was true bad anxiety and boom no appetite.

Have you tried drinking high-protein /carb shakes?

I can relate to your experience. If you like yogurt, it is an easy option when you are feeling anxious.

i'm like arfie, yogurt, the thought of eating yogurt makes me tremble right now.

for me? it doesn't seem to matter what it is - it doesn't make that sort of sense - when my system is in that mode - it will shred me.

maybe jello. jello seems to be ok for me most of the time. it helps to eat a little at a time, space it out.

When I am stressed, anxious, I do not feel hunger. Swallowing food makes me nauseous and doesn't want to eat. There are various changes occur to the gastrointestinal system. Because of this, digestion can become suppressed which results in breaking down food.
