bad anxiety - anyone else? any coping methods?

[eggybrokenoff]

I am pg with no3 and v happy. I have hyperemesis which is well controlled this time. other than that have had healthy pregnancies. one blighted ovum between my 2 dcs. all checks so far fine.

so why am I such a wreck? I am anxious and panicky all the time. I have another mw appt today and am so frightened. I haven't properly felt movement yet I am scared silly of something being wrong. I cant sleep worrying and am snappy and short tempered.

anyone else like this? any way I can stop this crazynes

Sorry to hear you are feeling this way. I have experienced anxiety (not related to pregnancy) and know how difficult it can be. I really recommend rescue remedy and also exploring NHS Talking Therapies in your area (google it). I recently self-referred through my GP and it was a brilliant (free) experience - I was in control of what sort of therapy I went for (I chose phone rather than group or drugs). The counsellor really put me at ease and gave me lots of easy to understand exercises, which were a revelation to me in realising I could overcome the anxiety. Maybe give it a try?

It's funny op, I am also pg with no3 and no previous probs. I am also much more anxious this time.
Just feel worried something will go wrong. Maybe talk to yr mw, I'm now 29 weeks and feel a bit better anxiety wise as I'm so tired and busy.
Keep busy and look after yrself.

party as soon as I read your post I feel like such a fraud. there are people really struggling and in need of help and I shouldn't be wasting anyone's time there is nothing wrong with me! I just dont understand why my head is dping this.
