    Sorry for the delay.  Been struggling mental health-wise over here with the virus, rioting, family drama, oh and those pregnancy hormones!!  But meeting my therapist soon and working on those daily habits that tend to help (self care, healthy food, exercise)!

    Sending love and support to everyone!

    Have an appointment scheduled next week to see about options for anxiety but until then I am in and out of deep spirals. It's not constant, but a couple times a week I'm a total mess. I just get fixated on some worst case scenario and play out all the depths of awful. It's so overwhelming, I hope the doctor and I can find a good plan quickly.

    @mom_of_the_vogels.  That is so hard!  My therapist sometimes works with me about the worst case scenario things.  Like if that happened, what would you do?  It is very unlikely to actually happen, but for me, sometimes having a plan helps me move past the scenario.  Then I am not trapped in the cycle of fear about it.  If it comes back up, then I know I have a plan to deal with it.  We also focus on the very low likelihood of the events happening!  

    Not sure if that helps, but thinking about you and hoping things get better soon!  Proud of you for making an appointment!

    @mom_of_the_vogels I’m sorry to hear you’re spiraling so often 🙁 hopefully your therapist will be able to help! Anxiety is really rough sometimes. 

    Afm, I had to take a social media break for a bit. With everything happening in the world and how powerless I feel, seeing things online wasn’t helping. My anxiety was spiking multiple times a day, and that’s just not good for me. So I took a break and have been trying to remind myself to step away when it gets to be too overwhelming.

    I'm pregnant with my 4th baby and find that I am just not excited this time around. We weren't trying to get pregnant and we thought we were "done" after 3. I'm in my early 30's now and just feel so old lol, not literally but physically. My oldest will be 10 when this one is comes, which is such a big age gap. I was pretty happy the first couple of weeks but I thought I was miscarrying early in my pregnancy and since then I've not been able to get excited about it. I know once he/she comes I will love them, the baby stage is my favorite, just hard right now because I feel so alone right now. My partner hasn't been a good support for me either, basically acts as if I'm not pregnant, ugh

    @islandmom11 I'm so sorry. I don't know exactly how you feel, but I can understand feeling super lonely. Hang in there! Maybe when you start feeling flutters it'll help 💚
