Hi all Im looking for other peoples experiences as I don't know how much longer I can feel the way I do. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I am really struggling with anxiety to the point it's affecting me leaving the house or seeing anyone. I went to an antenatal appointment yesterday and had a panic attack in the waiting room.I'm really not looking forward to Christmas as it means I have to go out and socialise and I just don't feel up to it. I have suffered on and off with anxiety since a teen but its never been this bad and Ive never needed medication for it i've just pushed through and coped with it. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced this and if it went away when you gave birth? I tried to speak to my midwife and said that I was struggling and I read my notes back and they made out like I can't look after my son and that I said I was struggling to look after him (which I didn't say I said I was struggling some days with looking after myself as I prioritise my sons needs) so I don't even want to seek further help.
