Can being anxious make you feel full quickly?

My anxiety was pretty bad on Monday night - I had a hard time eating my dinner. I felt full after I had finished about half of my meal. We had gone to a burger place for my son's birthday. I ate the burger and was stuffed..couldn't even touch the fries/drink.

Anxiety was bad again last night and ironically we had run through a drive through and ordered burgers again. I felt so full about half way through eating.

So I started worrying because I remembered reading something about feeling full quickly could be a sign of serious medical issues such as cancer. I started googling last night and wish I didn't because now I feel so overwhelmed and fixated on this.

I think my anxiety is high right now because I am waiting on lab results. It was my annual gyn visit and they found that I had WBC in my pee so they had me do a full panel blood test and they are starting me on antibiotics to treat a suspected UTI (they're sending the sample off to the lab). I have a hard time waiting because I always worry about what the results of the blood work will be.

Sorry for rambling. I just wanted to see if this is common with anxiety? The feeling full sensation? I read that it is something that can happen with depression..I am not depressed at all - just feeling afraid

That sounds awful.

I am going to lunch with my office in about an hour. I'm already nervous that I will feel full while eating. I am trying not to overthink it because I will probably make myself feel full just by thinking of it.

Ugh. I hate this.

Thanks SC :)

I have also been on weight watchers and have been eating smaller more frequent meals so maybe my body is getting used to not having as much (especially not as much junk) and just feeling sort of blah once I started eating those things again.

I am going through it now in a way. You start to worry if you will eat, when you will eat, how much you will eat, especially if you go out somewhere. Just all that thinking alone will cause worry and anxiety and make you feel full and not hungry before you even try.

When I am happy and more relaxed, I feel hungrier, but when I am tense and worried, I have little hunger. For me it is to the point where I may or may not have digestive issues. Which of course adds to worry.

Just keep relaxing and not thinking too much about what may never come to be. I know...easier said than done.
