Is it true that anxiety will refrain you from eating?

I only drink a lot of water and hadnt eaten for the past 2.5 days. One bite and it could make me throw up. Ive been anxious these days. My whole body feels hot and I am always thirsty. Could it be diabetes or anxiety?

Anxiety is definitely an appetite suppressant.
Yet if you are still feeling thirsty after drinking an average recommended amount of water for your weight, and wether you workout etc, then something may be physically wrong with you.

Definitely. You feel so uneasy from the anxiety that you can't even bring yourself to eat, and you lose your appetite. Water isn't really a substitute for the proteins in food, so maybe because you haven't eaten anything for almost 3 days, you feel sick. I'm no expert though, that's just my guess.

I see. Thanks for the advice both of you. Ill check a doctor though for diabetes or hyperthyroidism (even if my bmi is normal)
