Question

Can you develop anorexia from stress? ?

Answer 1

It's possible depending on how severe or how well you handle stress.  Generally speaking, when someone is under a lot of stress and they don't find an effective to cope or have much support, they can ultimately go into self destructive behavior, doing all kinds of crazy sh*t like starving themselves, suicide, etc.  Some people with unrealistic standards are more prone to the eating disorder.  Usually, appetite is on the low side, too.

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure u can. Stress, depression, and a lot of other things. Its very common in over achievers nd not as common in other types of people; where theres unhappiness theres anorexia.

Um, how old r u?

Answer 3

if your not eating yes....

Answer 4

I lose my appetite when I am stressed or depressed. If it goes on for a long time your stomach might shrink and you will want to eat less and less

Answer 5

I don't think so. Maybe it could, but generally, when you're really stressed, you don't have much of an appetite. So if you're not eating a lot, and you're stressed, that's probably it. Eating disorders have a lot more to do with control and is a disorder on it's own.

Answer 6

Yes you can because it can stem from food being the only thing in your life you are able to control. If you feel like this, take action by controlling the things you feel overwhelmed by, one step at a time. Just don't go down that path. If you think you are going to, get help immediately. Anorexia is very dangerous.
