Anxiety

Ladies, how do you deal with the anxiety of ttc? My hubby and I have been trying for the past year but I feel that I am my own worst enemy. I have finally pin pointed ovulation and the last 6 months have been ttc during the fertile window and also using opks to help me out.

However, I am so stressed about getting pregnant that it consumes me. I know this is not healthy. Whenever a friend or family announces a pregnancy I get an anxiety attack and it’s hard to calm myself down. Even thinking how everyone is pregnant but me makes me start to hyperventilate and start to cry. I even deactivated my fb account because seeing more pregnancy announcements again would cause me to have an anxiety attack.

Everyone keeps saying stop thinking about it and it will happen, but easier said than done. For those who have experienced this how does it get better? How do you shift your mindset to help yourself move forward?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thank you :)
