Iv suffered with this for years and normally control well but today has been horrible Constantly aware of my breathing which has made me hyperventilate alot which then makes me feel like I'm going to pass out. So it's bed for me as I feel rubbish

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with anxiety. I've had anxiety for 8 years and although I mostly manage just fine, there are times it creeps up very hard. Have you spoken to your doctor over options? Although I am firm on staying medication free myself, I do plan to bring up the panic attacks I've been having with my mw since they're happening more frequently this past couple of weeks.

I have had anxiety and depression since I was in high school (when I was officially diagnosed). I weaned off my meds before getting pregnant. Since becoming pregnant, I have had a REALLY REALLY hard time with the anxiety in particular. Last week, I caved and went back on medication (after a lot of discussion with all of my doctors). It was not an easy decision to make, but my doctor's reassured me that the likelihood of affects on my baby at this point are very small and that my well-being is just as important as the baby's. Make sure you speak with your doctor(s) to make the right decision for you and your family. Everyone is different and what you end of doing should be based on you and no one else.

I too suffer with anxiety and am still on medication for it. It's awful when you have your bad days isn't it?! When I get anxious I get sick too and I think the sickness and sweating are just the worst!! Hope you have a good day tomorrow! xxx
