I get anxiety attacks and I'm scared that when I'm pregnant it will be even worse

I am right there with you!! Im trying everything to get them to stop!

 

Don't they suck! I'm seeing a shrink actually and it has helped a lot, diagnosed generalized anxiety disorder and Panic disorder.  I've heard both people say they got better during pregnancy and worse. Fingers crossed they are not as bad.

 

Mine are pretty bad. I got alot of them last month but this month I seem to be better. People keep telling me I will never get pregnant if I keep having these attacks (GRRRR!!). I used to be on zoloft but am off it because of ttc. I have tried exercise more and eat better. Yoga seems to be relaxing me alot. I almost feel asleep at my desk yesterday. Of course I cant stretch like those woman in my class yet! haha. Have you thought of trying yoga. I was shocked at how much better I feel these past 2 weeks. Plus I cut out all caf. I dont think that helps us anxious people.  Good luck! I too am hoping I become less anxious once pregnant

 I've tried so many physical things to try to get them to stop, I did no caffeine for a month (didn't help) exercise (didn't help) started my weight loss thing with WW (this helped!) but I think my problem is I'm a control freak and I'm not great with expressing emotion so I'm trying to do that which seems to be helping. I've never tried meds for it, I figured since we were going to TTC that I would not be able to stay on them anyway.  I feel for anyone who has anxiety its so hard to explain if you never had an anxiety attack, it feels like no one understands.

 

I SO AGREE!! Thank you for saying that. Until you have a panic attack you have no clue! Im always up for new ideas on how to beat anxiety  

Is there a way to indv message through this website? Im new =(

total lurker here, but since its flame free and i'm bored at work....

 I used to have an amazing relationship with my inlaws, evil SIL has ruined that.  Now I hate being around them-its uncomfortable and I feel like they don't want me there either.  We aren't pregnant yet, but I already have it in my mind that I don't want DH's family there because of how I've been treated.  It's nice to get that out there, since I know when I say it to DH (when the time comes) it will be an all out battle over it...

feel free to message me if you want to talk with someone who understands panic and anxiety... It's a really tough thing to deal with.

You did it, that's the important thing.  I've been known to have a smoke when I drink with smokers.  It's a resolution of mine to never do it again.

After three cycles of no coffee or alcohol in the 2ww, I drank coffee and alcohol as much as I possibly could this 2ww, thinking it would somehow jinx me into getting pregnant.

At 13dpo today I woke up to a temp drop and spotting...oh well.

After gaining 10lbs (doctors orders) to try and get my cycle back to  "normal" it is really starting to affect me mentally.

I convinced myself I still wore a certain size bc I've been able to squeeze myself into my clothes. I went to buy some new clothes with my Christmas gift card money, and I had to buy a pair of pants 1 size larger and a pair of jeans 2 sizes larger.

Time to get serious about my workouts!!

I said I would never name our son after DH  and his dad and now SIL who is KU with a boy is thinking about using the name. I still want to have the option to name our son after them especially since it is MH name!

If I wanted the name I would use it. Don't let that stop you.

and have 2 cousins with the same first name?

This should be my flame free confession...I have the same first name as a first cousin on my mother's side and a first cousin on my father's side.  I was born first (4 years before one and 18 years before the second), thank goodness!

My nephew's birthday party is on Sunday and my 2 week old niece will be there, along with my SIL's sister who is pg. If I get a BFP before then I'll go, if I don't DH will be flying solo.

My ILs, for the second year in a row, have bought our unconceived child a Christmas present (think random toys - not family heirlooms or something sentimental that might even be close to okay). Talk about pressure...and inappropriateness. We've even told them how we don't appreciate it and they did it anyway this year. It makes me very uncomfortable and it's completely rude and none of their business! They don't know we're TTC, so these "gifts" are pure pressure. Part of me wants to tell them we're TTC so they can stop saying "someday you'll be ready..." but I know that telling them will only make the line of questioning even worse...It makes me not want to see them anymore because they are relentless.

I am angry for you about this!! If it were me I would resort to some sort of physical violence to put a stop to this. Can your DH say something to them about it?
