    Hi shaunie..

    I just wanted to try and give you a little bit of hope and reassurance ..

    Anxiety is just chemicals in your brain reacting to your thoughts , it's a vicious circle the more you get worked up the worse you feel ..

    At the moment I am going through some anxiety after having a virus and I know that the more worrying I do the worse I feel ,

    But I have to concentrate on trying to think on other things , whether it's doing something in the garden , going for a walk or seeing family and friends , you have to distract yourself from thinking to much and once you get into that habit the feelings of panic do subside ..

    I really feel you should get some counselling to learn how to deal with your thoughts as being pregnant you will be limited to medication you can take .. But I am not on any meds as I have had this before where it has been severe but I can deal with it better as I can think better .. But not everyone is the same and some people need meds ..

    But shaunie I wish you well and I really hope you get some help .

    Yvey

      Thankyou yvey71138 I can usually handle it really well but these last few months have been really bad and I'm struggling to come to terms with it, I know how much anxiety messes with your brain! I'm determined it's more than anxiety but drs haven't found anything I've had blood counts etc before I fell pregnant i was on medication which helped me alot

      thankyou so much for your reply!

    Sorry to hear that shaunie

    Try to tell yourself that jelly legs will still carry you and you won't meet with an accident because of your nerves.

    Maybe if the doctor gave you beta blockers. They help with panic and take about  3 weeks to kick in.

    You will have good days if you don't give in to your nerves.

    I wish you luck. You are not alone with this fear. Whenever you are feeling anxious try to remember that thousands of other people are going through the same. As I said, you are not alone.
