So I do a really great job of usually keeping my anxiety under control but lately when one thing goes wrong I think of a million other things that are wrong in my life or that can go wrong and then I get twice as anxious and I start to cry. I have no money, I have no support, I have no job. I’m expecting a baby in July and I don’t know how I’m going to afford anything for this baby. I’m trying to go back to work in March but who is going to hire a mom who’s 5 months pregnant? And then when I have baby I want to go back to work but how am I going to afford daycare or a nanny when the rates are literally what I will be making at a job or even more. I’m struggling to currently pay the small bills that I have. I’m just so stressed out and I don’t want my anxiety to affect my baby but it’s so difficult.
