hi, see i have read ur problem. first of all if ur appetite is good and u r loosing weight just rule out hyperthyroidism. only get a simple test.... serum TSH, and let me know. however looking to ur stress profile it appears to me as a case of acute reactive depression in which both things can happen... wt. gain and loss, loss of appetite and increase in it. just cool down and tell me the tsh report than i will guide u.
