30 wks preg and mental health taken a nose dive

I've just started seeing perinatal but my MH has taken a nose dive. I have some ocd tendencies and suffer with anxiety that I will harm unborn child accidentally or by getting an infection. I am also getting more and more anxious about the birth due to previous trauma with dc1. I am anxious and angry all the time. My head is pounding with thoughts and I can't take it any more. I have no idea what to do. The psychologist is seeing me again in 3 wks but even then what can they do. This comes in cycles and within the last week my mood has dropped dramatically. I have no idea what I am asking I just wondered if anyone is the same. I don't know how I am going to get through next 10 wks and I don't know how I will cope when the baby arrives and find it neearly impossible to accept help due to my anxiety.

Didn't want to read and run.
You're doing wonderfully, is there anyone else you can discuss you anxiety with? Can you call the midwife for reassurance?
Sorry you're struggling
