Ok so tonight i decided to look up some of the symptoms i've been having, Everyone one of them links to cancer. I am only 14!
Could it even be possible i have cancer?
In the past 4 months i've lost 15 pounds! From 120 to 105, And i'm 5'6".
I don't know, Just thinking about all this is bringing me to tears. Crying or Very sad

Alex- the weight loss might be a concern- but it's probably because you're so anxious that you're having a hard time keeping weight.

You don't have cancer. Please don't look your symptoms up on the internet!! For someone with the anxiety problems you have, it will only make you worse.

Your doctor said it was anxiety, right? Trust her/him.

Personally it would be my conculsion that the reason why you may be loosing weight is because your to busy looking for something to be wrong with you which is making you sick and not able to eat which is called anxiety,

By the way, losing 15lbs in 4 months isn't drastic weight loss. I lost 15lbs in six weeks once, and I didn't have a serious illness.
