MDJunction to me

saralaurie"In the 3 months I have been with MDJunction I have developed a sense of calmness. I now friends who do not judge me because I have been a mental mess at times. It is such a good feeling to have friends I can tell my deepest thoughts and always get back to me with their support. I have never seen a therapist for long periods of time. Right or wrong, this is the best therapy possible for me. Thanks Roy for getting this up and running and making such a difference in my life. Sara" (saralaurie)

Have you tried the deep breathing..lol..you need to practice that anyway for when you baby arrives..Smile Smile

I know from experience be pregnant seems to bring out the anxiety in a person..I would just try to relax any way you can...how about meditation?

I would speak to your Dr, if your panics are more intense because of your pregnancy, there must be things you can do naturally. So sorry to hear your nd doesn't understand, I know too well how that is. Breathe slowly, think of your beautiful baby you will soon be holding in your arms. Smile this will pass

sorry you are having such a rough time I am 5. 1/2 months i am off all my meds but one and am working on getting off of that as well

being pregnate and worring about everything else along with your body,baby,panic,stress and chemicals can be hard but rememeber

panic can not harm you

panic can not harm your baby

yes panic sucks and is not fun but its just a feeling not an illness

often times i hear people say 'i cant do this anymore' or 'this has to end' i found as soon as I realized that yes I can handle it and not only can i handle it but I dont have a choice in the matter if I am going to panic then I am going to panic and no need to fight with it and no it dont have to end but it can if you just let go and stop talking so DOWN to yourself

Yes it is hard, we are here for you , but your first step is to STOP all the negitive self talk best thing I ever did was learn to talk to myself like i would talk to someone I love

" i cant handle this" = " you can do this you are so strong and smart"

"this has to stop"= "hun just breath you talking about it wont fix it at all"

" please god help me"= "god is there to support not to do things for me i have to work for this!"

give yourself a mantra that means a lot to you as in when you are IN a panic attack tells you to find your own peace

mine is

be still and know who you are!

Telling myself to -

be still= breath slow and clear my mind of all negitive thoughts

know who you are= rememeber how much you have been through that is much worse than a feeling of panic and came out fine!

be strong, know and rememeber who and what you are

Hi...I hope you are feeling better. My panic attacks worsened when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. The doctor put me on zoloft 50 mgs. She said it was one of the safest ones. She also gave me klonopin .5mgs to take as needed. I took a few xanax before finding out I was pregnant and it caused even more anxiety. My doctor assured me that everything would be fine and taking the drugs was better than being anxious all the time. It was not good for the baby to be anxious, sick to my stomach, and unable to eat. I took the zoloft throughout the entire pregnancy and during the 1st year of her life when I breastfed. She is perfectly healthy and an absolute joy. She is now 18 mos old. I am so glad I took the medications and remained calm and was able to enjoy my pregnancy. I will be praying you find relief from your anxiety.

Sophiesue I am glad your child came out fine without meds I have lost my son beacuse of my anxiety medications, it caused depressed heart rate and he passed last night, so its a pro/con thing many people have to fight to see what would be better for them personally , me Ill never touch the damn pills again if i happen to ever have another child they killed mine!
