Gaining weight increasing anxiety...
So I’ve put on 20 lbs in the past year
I’ve been through a rough year and let myself go a bit
I’m 190 and 5’6
I’ve never been this big before and I’m finding my anxiety has sky rocketed since gaining weight
Wearing anything tight makes me feel like I can’t breathe, even putting on a regular bra has me going into a full anxiety attack. Heart racing, can’t breathe, tight chest
When i crouch down my gut feels like it’s crushing my lungs and I can’t breathe
I know I need to get back to a healthy weight and feeling comfortable
But is this anxiety increase normal?
I’m freaking out because I’m TTC and I realized that having a pregnant belly might cause so much anxiety “tightness” in my chest I don’t even know how I would handle it. Like I can’t get into a “squished” position without feeling like I’m dying or even my husband snuggling me too tight has started to make me freak out
