I've mentioned this before but Its now decisson time here and I really need some help from people who understand just how bad panic attacks / GAD can be.
My wife was due yesterday, so its a waiting game at the min, shes ready to go anytime, Ever since she told me she was pregnant I have been a bag of nerves. I really don't want to go because of my GAD and panic attacks, Having our first child which was supposed to be one of the happiest times of my life was a living nightmare, Panic attack upon panic attack, add to that I fainted twice, I swore I'd never be back in there again, infact I still have flash backs from that night:weep: Maybe PTSD??
My problems have now got worse in that our local hospital has closed and I ave a trip down a motor way which is my biggest fear.
I asked other for advice but they don't understant Anxiety, all I get is pull yourself together man, or the child needs a father it already has a mother:blush: I really can't help it. All breathing exercises go out the window in situations like this, I really do not know what to do.
I can't drive anyway so it would be her mother taking her to the hospital, and the old saying 3's a crowd could never be more true, She would be more worried about me than having a baby. What the hell do I do??
