I'm on the waiting list for counselling but it's a long list

I have anxiety and depression but had been getting a good grip on it these past few months. I fled a 7 year DV relationship 3 years ago and have spent a long time recovering.

The past few weeks have been extremely hard and I am now constantly worried something bad is going to happen. I can't shake the heavy feeling in my chest, like an impending feeling of doom

Recently I've had to apply to extend the court order to keep ex away from me and my children again. I had to supply a lot of evidence and I've felt dazed having to recall events I try hard to block out.

I had a miscarrige a 2 weeks ago after 2 years of TTC and my dad had a heart attack and a stent put in this week.

The past few weeks of stress have just really got on top of me and I just feel like something even worse is waiting around the corner.

How can I shake this awful feeling? I know it will be the shock and nerves of everything that's happened, but how can I calm my body down as such?

I came off my anti depressants a year ago as I wondered if it was affecting us TTC and I really dont want to go back on them if I can avoid it. I'm not me on antidepressants
