40 weeks and major anxiety

So I am now 40w 2d and I can't sleep and have terrible anxiety. Not just excited for my babe to come but like real anxiety. I can't sleep and start crying because the stress I feel is overwhelming. Plus I have everyone and their mothers messaging me every day if shes here yet. I had a break down to my husband today about it. Does anyone else feel this way? If my DD doesn't come soon they will wait until I go 42 weeks to induce. I honestly don't think I will last that long. Depression and anxiety run in my family and in the beggining my pregnancy was mentally rough on me. 

*I've been awake for 3 hours prior to posting this.

    Have you discussed your depression and anxiety with your doctor?  You may want to consider taking something for it now so it’s in your system when baby comes and your hormones go all out of whack. There are plenty of safe options. 
    I went to 41 weeks with this one and all the people messaging to check on the baby was frustrating. I usually just ignored them until I was in a good frame of mind to respond. 
    Good luck and your little one will be her soon enough!
