See physician: Symptoms of weight loss due to severe anxiety, crying nightly are not normal and it is highly advised that you seek further evaluation by either a physician or psychiatrist, for further assistance on helping you achieve improved well being. Please seek emergent care if you have any intentions to hurt yourself or others. Best wishes. Consult us if you need further guidance on next steps.

Well yes: Any weight loss from stress and anxiety is too much and is a good reason to take a step back, analyze the problem and either eliminate the stressor if possible or learn de-stressing techniques such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness exercises, therapy, exercise, sometimes medication when needed, perhaps massage, perhaps a vacation; it all depends on the situation and what works for you.
