Struggling with anxiety

Hiya,

I'm currently struggling with anxiety (pre-existing prior to becoming pregnant).

Anyone else struggling too or able to offer some advice or someone to talk to?

I struggle hugely too! No matter how much people say “don’t worry” it’s like saying don’t breathe.... it’s like whenever a problem or task presents itself i draw a spider diagram of all the possibilities. It’s exhausting.

My best bit of advice is to be kind to yourself as much as possible. Your allowed to be anxious!

Sorry to hear you struggle with it too! It's so draining and debilitating isn't it!

Mine is hugely linked around nausea at the moment. I have emetophobia (fear of feeling/being sick) so it's not the best of times.

I've been eating small meals as regularly as possible, yet it kicks off worst at night time.

I'm at a loss as to what to do anymore to help it.
