scared

[katie42]

Hi there

I am new to this forum and just wanted to know if anybody has got any advice or been through a similar experience.

I have suffered from panick attacks and more recently really bad anxiety for some years now. I was put onto seroxat for years and managed to come off them last year ( which was a horrible time for me). I then went onto another drug citalopram last year and managed to come off them quite quickly. I am now drug free, which I am really pleased about, but I still have to deal with the same feelings everyday and sometimes to scared to leave the house ( now have ibs too )

My problem now is that I have been putting off getting pregant because I am so scared, not only about the labor but incase I get morning sickness ( I have a real phobia about feeling sick) and having to go to hospital and my husband not being able to be stay with me and sleep in the same room as me .

I know that if i do not give it a go, I will regret it forever - BUT HOW WILL I COPE, I only need to walk pass a hospital and I have severe anixtey.

thanks for your time in reading this

Welcome to the site Katie.

You said it - "I will regret it forever" - and remember that we can only get better by facing the fear.

But maybe you ought to face the vomit phobia first and see how you get on. I'm sure others on here will come along who are much more qualified than me!

Take Care,

Ray
