Anyone else with anxiety?

Question

Anyone else ttc with anxiety? I've been married two years and know this is the journey my husband and I are supposed to be on - but in my head my thoughts are telling me how can I handle a pregnancy and a baby when I can barely handle everyday life with my anxiety? And already telling myself my anxiety will get so much worse when I'm pregnant. Ive never went on medication but almost to a point where I just can't control the anxious feelings and thoughts on my own.

Answer

I feel the same way girl. My boyfriend and I want to start trying to conceive in the fall, but I struggle with anxiety on a daily basis and wonder how that’s gonna work. You are not alone. I try podcasts, self-help books, meditation and therapy, but I’m terrified I’ll have to get on medication again. I’m here if you need to vent.

Answer

I’m feeling the same way. I’ve suffered from anxiety for nearly 10 years now but the past 2 years it’s been the worse of all. I took medication for a few months many years ago but I found that it didn’t work so ever since I decided to not take medication. I started seeing a therapist and getting Accupuncture recently so hopefully this helps.

Answer

me its usually triggered by insecure scenarios obviously, but if im in a idgaf mood or im comfortable with the people around me my anxiety wont bother me that much but usually its always lingering in the back of my mind

Answer

I'm the same. I honestly think it's stopping me (physically) from getting pregnant. I hate it so much!

Answer

This week has been one of the worst anxiety weeks I’ve ever had and I too, keep thinking about I can hardly keep myself sane without a baby! But a baby is what I want more than anything in the world. It’s hard because I have been on medication (only works some days) but I don’t know if any I can take when I actually do get pregnant. Sorry you ladies have to feel it too. You’re not alone.

Answer

I am on the same boat.
I try to shift my focus on how I don't want my child be be affected by my anxiety. but this is my genuine concern tbh. 
it doesn't help much. but I want kids. the anxiety-free me wanted kids. 
just know that you aren't alone. I have tried medications, but they weren't helpful. CBT helped. but these days my anxiety is more complicated. I wake up fine struggle the whole day gets better when I have to sleep. 
I feel I'm floating, with wierd sensations inside me. it's a struggle everyday. I don't know how to deal with it.
