I suffer with anxiety, I had a short spell on tablets (possibly cilitropam?) about 5 years ago.
I'm now pregnant with DC2 and it's coming to a head, I'm short with DC1 and Snappy and bossy with DH. My jaw is so tense and I'm gritting my teeth all day long. I'm starting to withdraw and refuse to do things because I'm so anxious.
I feel I want to go to the GP for help (self help hasn't helped) but worried that I will be told to wait until DC2 is born or that flags will be raised. Are there medications prescribed in pregnancy for anxiety? That have good solid long term research behind them? I imagine the hightened levels of cortisol from anxiety are probably not great for a developing baby either.
Help!
