Its probably: the anxiety. You may have irritable bowel syndrome with the diarrhea and weight loss. If it is affecting you this badly,see your Dr. or Psychiatrist to treat anxiety and IBS.

See your doctor: There can be many reasons for decreased appetite, weight loss, diarrhea and anxiety. Start with your pcp to rule out medical causes. If all points to anxiety, ask for referral to a mental health professional for guidance. I hope this helps. Best wishes.
