Beyond anxious

I suffer with health anxiety, general anxiety, depression and anorexia.

I am being induced tomorrow I was told about this Saturday afternoon and ever since I have been panicking! I was worried about child birth anyway (I think most people are) but I'm completely convinced I'm going to die!

I've even started to plan my funeral and I want to tell my mum my plans tonight but I think it will upset her or anger her because she seems to think my anxiety was getting better.

Is there anything I can do to try and reassure myself? I've had counselling throughout my pregnancy but it was been pretty pointless they didn't seem to listen to my anxieties about the actual labour.

tell the medical personnel exactly how you are feeling. They can call on counselling help to get you thru this. Try not to pretend to your mother or anyone - as it wont help you and you must help you.
