Anyone else feel constantly paranoid??

[Bumblebee2408]

This is just a bit of a rant I guess.....

Does anyone else just feel constantly paranoid?? I feel like I'm either doing the wrong thing, boring people to tears or like no matter what we do we're being judged.

I know a lot of it's probably in my own head. But just feels like I'm trying hard to create a good life for us and we're still in the same place.

I had this last time with my little boy along with ten tonnes of crying and feeling low part of the way through my 1st into 2nd Trimester then hormones settled a bit and I felt better. This time it's just going on.

I don't feel depressed or hopeless. Been there before I just feel.... A bit down and like I'm being watched and judged by so many..... Even though we live in a small rural town

Think I'm going crazy lol anyone else with me?? Is this one of those rubbish pregnancy things???

Yes yes yes! I am w paranoid wreck, and joke that pregnancy brings out the teenager in me! I am always worried about what others are thinking, rehashing conversations on my head, thinking I've bored/annoyed/offended someone etc. it's really awful and can drive you nuts. I was like this last time too, and was only long after I had my lo that my husband told me that pregnancy made me crazy lol!!
Sorry i can't offer much advice, just to let you know you're not alone and my attitude now is just to keep reminding myself it's crazy pregnancy and not real, and that it won't last forever x

Thanks Sinead82 you summed it up in one :-D that's exactly how I feel. I'm trying to keep reminding myself this haha.

Fingers crossed it fades out soon xx

Oh I hope so, I seem to just really suck at being pregnant - I just don't feel like 'me'!
Good luck xx

Oh my, yes! It is not just you. And I am glad to know it is not just me. I have always struggled with anxiety and worries, but it seems like my hormones have me in overdrive. I obsess and obsess and obsess, and end up crying over every little thing that could go wrong. Please let us survive this!

Yes I think its very normal! Last night I ended up on the phone with a nurse because my resting heart rate was absolutely racing for over an hour - it wasn't until after I got off the phone with her I realised that I was having a slight anxiety attack about a number of normal stresses such as an upcoming house move and an afternoon tea I organised being cancelled! It's incredible what things can set you off and it's really hard to calm down because then you start freaking out that your panic is stressing out the baby too. Just try to relax and do something that makes you feel calm, like taking a bath or going for a walk x

Glad it's not just me ladies and this is all normal.... Today I'm anxious as I accidentally booked my son's 1 year injections when I'll be working this afternoon instead of on my day off doh!! His aunty is taking him but I still feel bad I've always taken him and ge hates them. So now my minds on overdrive!! xx xx at least once at work I can't concentrate on much else xx

Anxiety is getting to me bad today getting fed up of it now. I feel like I could cry all the time this needs to get better quick xx
