Anxiety?

Question

I have been diagnosed as having generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD. I used Marijuana to deal with it but my husband has asked me not to use it while pregnant. I'm currently at work having a panic attack. What can I do? What has worked for you?

Please don't say "deep breathing" or "listen to music" or other remedies for stress. This is different than stress.

Answer

There are several medications that are safe to use during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about what would be best for you and baby. Emotional wellbeing is just as important during pregnancy as physical wellbeing.

Answer

I have general anxiety disorder as well. Deep breathing, meditation, and distraction do work for me, but it took time to develop. Sorry you don't want that advice, but there isn't a magic cure.

Answer

I have anxiety and PTSD, too and haven't taken medication since a month before conception . I really struggle some days , because I can't take anything for it ...
Have you tried " grounding methods " when you feel a panic attack come on? Have you had some counselling ? Is your work understanding ?
