Mental Health
Hi, is anyone else dealing with crippling anxiety? I’ve had to ring in work this morning because of it. I’ve just got this awful feeling something bad is going to happen. I can’t even explain it. I’ve suffered in the past with mental health problems but been alright for a couple of years… just feel like nobody is taking me seriously about it either I keep getting it’s just hormones.

Hi, I had this in my first pregnancy. I didn’t raise it as I thought it was normal as people told me when I mentioned it that it was hormonal. I struggled with sever postnatal depression and wish I had pushed it more. The perinatal mental health team can see you during pregnancy so I would push for a referral
I've had bad anxiety and constant horrible violent thoughts of my baby getting hurt since he was first born. Gotten worse during pregnancy and the OB just prescribed something to hopefully help. You're not alone. 💚

Just because your hormones are making something worse doesn’t mean it’s not real - I hate it when people say that as if it makes everything okay. Really sorry you’re feeling like this, do you have anything you normally do when you’re feeling anxious that helps? When I’ve felt like this recently I’ve had to talk to someone about what I’m feeling, which sounds like I’m oversimplifying things but it helps me to process what I’m feeling and stop me spiralling.
