not sure what it can be , your doctors hould know, it could be depression too, are you depressed about anything? i know they can give you anti depressants if you are really worried, they will make you feel better and give you a healthy appetite back ? dont worry too much unless you are losing alot of weight

Janes right
it could be deppression linked with your premenopause, i would talk to the doctor about an antidepressent.
If your losing alot of wieght i would talk x3 cold boost a day with healthy meals, nuts and advacodos are also a good sorce of fat and bannannaas are good for potassiam, for some people low potasiam seems to come along with depression.
You can look up pottasiam rich foods on the net.
Good Luck And Warmest Wishes To You!

I first got this anxiety issue on March 15. I did not eat at all for over a month. I lived off of Ensure. My doctor was not at all concerned about my weight loss (26 lbs). He said it was because of my depression/anxiety. I have been on Zoloft for about 2 months. I am eating normally again now, but every time it's time for me to start my period I again I completely loose my appetite again and get extremely anxious. I probably need to make an appt. with a gyno. and have some labs to see if it is to do with hormones. I am 38 yrs old. I don't know if I am getting into the pre-menopause thing or what. Anyway, the loss of appetite is normal with some people during anxiety and depression.
