Can't escape my anxiety

[crl200]

So this is the first time I've experienced anxiety, but its less general, more about a specific thing.
Basically I'm anxious about being pregnant, I cant explain I just cant be pregnant, if I was I would get a termination, but I guess the reason I'm so stressed out is because you can only have a termination up to 26 weeks and if I missed this deadline my life would be over.

The reasons I'm not pregnant may seem obvious to others- I've had regular monthly bleeding which is no different from my period.
I've taken 6 home pregnancy tests all have come back negative.
I've has a pregnancy test at the doctors which was negative.

But then in my head there are reasons I am pregnant, I've had recent bad bloating which I never had before, I've been nauseous, I have back pain (although this has been for a while) and it sound stupid but I just feel pregnant.

My anxiety is getting the better of me I'm so worried I don't know what I can do or how to cope, advice and help would be greatly appreciated.

You can book a private scan? That could possibly put your mind at ease? If there's another way to help you feel better then great but it may help? Maybe have a look online and see if there's one near you? If Home pregnancy tests, doctors tests and you've had normal periods then it's highly likely that you're not pregnant.

Hope you're okay OP x

Oh you poor girl. It really is anxiety, you're obviously not pregnant.
I promise you that you will get over this.

If you could have a little break, a change, doing something you enjoy and not doing things you dislike, it might help to break the acute phase of anxiety.

I Can escape it for a few minutes buts as soon as I walk past a mirror and see the bloating and as soon as I feel any stomach pain I have just reminded again

I know you said you've been to GP regarding a pregnancy test but have you told them about the anxiety? Could help maybe with meds or some sort of counselling. Hope you get it sorted.

Book a private scan. They are very inexpensive now, especially as you just need a basic one.

I disagree about booking a scan. You are not pregnant. You do need to go to the doctor though to discuss a way forward.

There is medication you could try or talking therapy.

Anxiety is horrible. I had never suffered but mine was triggered by driving. I still struggle sometimes but use medication and breathing techniques to enable me to get in the car and drive.

In the meantime trying to get hold of your breathing so it is not too fast and you are taking deep breaths should help a bit.
