Has anyone felt like this

I wonder what is the matter with me? I've never felt this way before. I've lost appetite, I lost weight, I used to weigh 197 now I weigh 170. I lost it without trying. I had a seizure, admitted one day in the hospital, came home and feel this way. I am not sick or have a disease. The did a MRI when I was in the hospital and did not find anything wrong. When I was in the hospital, in the ER before they took me up to a room, I was emotional. I cried and did not want my mom to leave me. In June of 2020, I lost my dad. On Easter I had called him to wish him a Happy Easter, he did not answer the phone so I thought he had went to my cousin's house or went out of town. My one cousin who went over to check on him had said that my dad was on the floor sick. He said when he came to the door, he knocked and told my dad to open the door, my dad heard him but couldn't come to the door, so my cousin went next door to get the maintenence man to open the door. When the door was opened they saw my dad laying on the floor by the table where the phone was.

Easter is coming and it is bothering me. My mom has had a lot of stress, it caused her to lose sleep, and lose weight. What I am going through, do you think it is depression or anxiety?

Has anyone ever experienced this before?
Please find someone you trust to talk to. You are stressed from your dad's death and from life. It could be anxiety. It could be depression. Does the label really matter? You are ill too. Stress can cause that. Please go see your family doctor. Again. Seizures have causes. And your weight loss is significant. Make sure you fo not have a medical condition. Be kind to yourself too. Losing a parent is life- altering.

During the divorce my systolic and dyistolic blood pressures were barely different. I lost weight too. Anxiety, depression, PTSD... you name it. Started walking and running and that helped. Church was a waste of time ans if anything just pushed shame when it was her that left us.

It could be that or a host of other things.

Recently I had a very unpleasant few weeks with nausea.

When I came out of that, I learned my taste - or cravings for food - has dramatically changed. Craving veggies mostly. Weird. Chocolate? Yawn. So weird.

I'm a PTSD Survivor for 35 years. Most importantly, get treatment. When I got PTSD, it didnt have a name or a treatment! I was self-treating! Today, you don't have to suffer like I did.

I've lost 20# due to stress and anxiety before. If you're having seizures, something is wrong. Keep pushing for more tests so you can get a proper diagnosis.
