Awful anxiety

Hiya, i am seeing my midwife soon and will be bringing this up but i was just hoping for some advice until then.
Basically my anxiety for the past few months has been absolutely horrendous and is becoming unbearable to the point where i often think i cant carry on like this etc. 😢 I dont worry at all about the baby or my toddler as i am 100% sure they are fine, i worry about the tiniest most silly things! E.g. yesterday i bought some photographs from boots, paid for them and then went for lunch. When i checked through i realised i had left 2 on the kiosk (horrendous baby brain atm) and i went back in. I saw them, picked them up and left as the christmas queues are huge and there were no staff free for me to just check i could take them. Then all last night until 1:30am i was panicking that i will be accused of shoplifting and im making myself sick with worry! Its ridiculous but i cant shake it! I worry about everything!
My biggest fear is that im in trouble for no reason. Im terrified of doing something wrong and even am scared of getting post etc... i dont know what to do, ive always worried but not to this extent.
I have a history of disordered eating and when anxious i struggle to sleep or eat so being pregnant i obviously want to kick this.
Ive tried chamomile tea, yoga, meditation... any tips or advice? 😧

Have you spoken to your GP about your symptoms?

They could prescribe something to help and/or refer you for CBT.

Mindfulness helps too.
