Hi all, i found this site a few weeks ago but only just felt brave enough to post a thread! Let me introduce myself i'm 28, married to a fantastic man we have a 4 year old daughter and another on the way in April! I have suffered with health anxiety and depression for the last few years on and off, i was on prozac but gp advised me to come off them when i found out i was pregnant as i was coping quite well, but for the last few months i have had the same horrible feelings and thoughts creeping back in and now i dont feel like i'm coping very well at all, my main concern is pains in my chest which I'm sure are signs there is something wrong with my heart, I know this is a symptom of anxiety which my gp has said it could be or indigestion as i'm 6 months pregnant but i cant get it out of my head and its so consuming, I'm petrified of giving birth as i feel im going to die because my hearts not strong enough to cop, i even have pictures in my head of my husband and little girl and our baby at my funeral and its driving me insane! In some of my calmer moments i can see its my mind playing tricks on me and i am healthy and i should be looking forward to having a new baby but i can never seem to get these thoughts to stick! sooo sorry for rambling on but even thiugh my husband is a great listener he doesn't understand truly what it is like! Thanks for listening.:wacko:
