Hi
Congrats on ur pregnancy . I'm sorry ur not feeling well. It could well be stopping meds that has dragged u back to that dark place and it can feel as if it will never get better. But it will. Just reread ur last posts and u were feeling so much better so u will again.
Do keep in touch with drs and midwives. They can offer you support and need to know how ur feeling . Are u getting support from partner friends and family? Get them on board it will make things easier. What r ur thoughts and feelings ATM ?
Hugs . Keep talking to usx

Well this bout of severe anxiety started due to having an asthma attack outside on my own with my 3kids about 4 months ago and the anxiety is mostly around my breathing now.. When I have chest pains or am short of breath I panic incase I have another asthma attack. I've had asthma attacks before, but I think it effected me so much this time because I was only 3months post-natal and was suffering with depression and anxiety allready(un-medicated) and I think it just come to ahead with that one event xx

Hugs - bet that was tough. Can u generally feel asthma attack coming on ? R u feeling chesty now?
Perhaps try breathing exercises - slow deep breaths. I've found that helps by slowing down the panicky feeling and focusing on the breathing a good distractionx

Its when my chest feels tight from the anxiety probably, when I start to panic. im just so fed up atm. I feel like I'll never get bettet or have to take meds for life. Im worrying about the withdrawal of medication! Way in the future or worrying that they'll never work. I just want to feel better. I dont want to keep going on like this sorry for the moan xx

Hey Monica. I dont really know why I felt like that.. I suppose it's because sometimes the fight seems too much to face. That I'll never be 'me' again and independent. I hate feeling so vulnerable I suppose and having to rely on my oh so much. Our kids would be screwed without him because I get non functioning xxx

Up and down day... I wish I could have one whole good day... Rather than some bits being ok and some bits making me think I cant keep going

The roller coaster ride that is pni is so draining- hang on in there. Progress can be painfully slow but if I feel overall that ur improving albeit with dips that is positive .
Why don't u go to Dr for advice? You seem to be struggling and often an reassuring word can help . There are other therapies out there that might be worth a go. Just to reassure you I don't think u there is anything wrong with u just that we are all different and different types of treatment help different people and its worth exploring different avenues.

Monica Thank you Monica Im seeing a psychiatrist on the 10th of Nov who prescribed me my current meds. Im stuck at the moment as im too scared to go out or very far at the moment, im hoping at some point the meds will help me feel more able to push my boundaries. I think hormones are probably alsi having a big impact on how I feel too. I am really hoping they will settle down after the first trimester too.. Its what im hoping for xx
