:wacko:

I don't know if it's part my bipolar and me being off meds or not, but I have been super restless and anxious ever since I found out I was pregnant a few days ago.

I normally play my video games all day and chill on the computer, but I just can't focus on doing one thing for very long. I keep worrying that the pregnancy is going to be a chemical or molar one or something terrible like that.

This is my first pregnancy and my real confirmation that I am not as infertile as we had thought.

But like, I am a nervous wreck. I just want to see the sonagram of the baby to confirm it is actually on there. Normally to deal with lots of anxiety I'd just take a pill...but I can't do that now :T
 
I can relate totally. I have diagnosed anxiety and have been a wreck. I have convinced myself I have had several different things (from blighted Ovum etc) and its horrible. I also have no motivation to do the things I like. I just sit stressing about the fact I have not got nausea :(
 
I feel ya! I have anxiety and its so much worse right now.. Im only 4 weeks and every single day its all i think about, all the things that could go wrong. I had a miscarriage 6 months ago so in my head I cant even feel happy about this pregnancy untill I have that first sono...which likely wont be till 12 weeks :/ Hope everything works out great for you!
 
When you get to your appointment ask for some pregnancy-safe anxiety medication you can take. You need to take care of yourself as well as the baby, and you can't do that if you are stressed out.
