Hi everyone, I used to be a regular on the Health Anxiety boards but had made quite a good recovery, with the help of some Cognitive Analytic Therapy and 20mg of Citalopram daily.
I'm now 16 weeks pregnant (after an early miscarriage at 7 weeks in August) and my anxiety is horrendous. I keep obsessively googling (for hours at a time) and having sobbing panic attacks. Current worry is that baby will have spina bifida, and it will be all my fault because I didn't take folic acid early enough, or because I stayed on Citalopram and should have come off it.
I don't know how to stay sane until my 20 week scan. And then after that I'll worry about still birth, and then when the baby is here (which I still can't believe will actually happen) there's just more and more to worry about..
I have been referred to see the perinatal psychiatrist in 2 weeks time, and am going to yoga, which does help. My life is quite stressful for other reasons at the minute, and everything just feels really overwhelming :weep:
