do any of you expecting moms deal with anxiety like I do? how do you cope with it? and are there…

I have bad anxiety. Lately has been very hard to cope @lovely_girl211 they don't give me any meds. My anxiety has been through the roof this last trimester

@pretty_n_pink it's gotten pretty rough for me too. I'm gonna talk to my doctor about it. I hope they can help somehow.

@lovely_girl211, trust me I feel your pain. My anxiety contributes to my dizziness and it's just horrible. Can hardly function at this point

Try this breathing exercise: breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4 seconds, pause for 4. Its how I stop my anxiety attacks. @pretty_n_pink @lovely_girl211

my Dr prescribed lexapro I think that's the name but I don't take it they think I will o through post partum depression but to deal with it I listen to music and do breathing exercise and try not to be in the house so much also I vent alot

Be sure to close your eyes and focus on counting, the sound of your breathe. Its a life saver.

I just had an anxiety induced nose bleed yesterday. Anxiety is a part of my life but meditation helps. I refuse meds while pregnant. I was on some prior though.

I take lexapro it's mainly for depression though. They said I could take another med that was better for anxiety but it comes with some risks of course so I haven't taken that one.

I don't know if you guys would like the scent or not but one thing that really does help me calm down when I feel a panic attack coming on is the "stress relief" line from bath and body works. I go through the hand sanitizer like you wouldn't believe. once I realize I'm feeling anxious I use it all over my hands and just sit and breathe in the scent. it helps me a lot.

:)

I'm going to definitely try @lovely_girl211

Thank you I'll see if I like it💕@lovely_girl211

@lovely_girl211, thank you I will try it also. I'm always open to trying new things

@lovely_girl211, I appreciate the thought but anything scented makes me nauseous.
