anxiety and pregnant with 2nd baby

[Coraltee123]

Hi I'm 20 and just found out im pregnant with my 2nd child who I will have when I'm 21. I have suffered from anxiety from a young age but it got worse from I had my little girl. I really don't know how I am going to cope with another baby :/ my anxiety has taking over my life as it is and ive only recently opened up and told my doctor about it. Im so scared it's going to effect this baby and even with all this I already love it to bits :) Has anyone else had this and have any advice for me would really appreciate it thanks :)

I've suffered from anxiety and panic for around 10 years. Came back really badly after DS was born so refered myself to Talking Therapies and had 6 months of intensive Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. Don't suffer alone as it's such a frightening place to be in. I totally understand what you are going through. My anxiety has been under control for over 2 years now. I've learnt how to control it when I feel the anxiety building.

Go back to see your GP and ask about Talking Therapies or other CBT available. It's so worth it. And if you can avoid antidepressants. I've taken many over the years and they are hard to come off and awful to be on (in my opinion anyway).

Good luck and if you want to message me about it to chat further please do xx
