Well im going to start by saying i am the biggest hypercondriac you may ever meet?
I have also been under a lot of stress lately, my boyfriend who is my everything, just got locked up for 6 months. i feel totally lost w/o him! My parents and i barley get along.. my mother and i usually do, but not my father and i. We are constantly arguing, schools a stress factor for me too!

Well i thought i had a brain tumor because i had been twitching, in my head (it feels rather “unsteady” and moves “uncontrollably” at time.) twitchings in my arms, legs, feet, hands, this is usually in the morning, however happens anytime of the day. I get shakey, been getting headaches in weird places but not severe headaches, and not followed by nausea. these headaches are on top, sometimes, sides, and back of head, also some in neck, slightly. I been sleepy earlier then usual. Feeling “weird” unreal?, Seeing floaters, no double vision or blacking out! I do vomit when i get really stressed and if i cry to hard. I went to doc a while back and he sed i had a mild sinus infection. Had some ear “buzzing” like a vibration! This is why im scared its a brain tumor! Idk the symptoms, but that was my first thought, but like i said, ima hypercondriac!

Ok, I’m tired of trying to work through anxiety without meds. I really need something. I just wanted to get pregnant very soon, but it’s clear I don’t do well without medication.

Is there ANY antianxiety drug considered safe for use during pregnancy!?

Apparently he feels we all need to give to a cause greater than ourselves. I am concerned, that where he was held prisoner for so long in Vietnam, that he wants all Americans to “serve”, to suffer, to police the world, to end tyranny, in support of freedom, no matter what the price, because he did and so should we?!

I am concerned about a politician who needs to claim that he is “saved”, that he is pro life and wants to stop abortion. I believe in a woman’s right to choose and that forced rape and severe medical and or psychological conditions should not be a certain pregnancy carried forward! That is very unhealthy. I believe masturbation should be a crime if abortion is a crime. Scientists have proven that sperm are still attached to the male body in emotion after they leave the body until they oxygenate and that it takes weeks for the male body to rejuvenate bone marrow production after an orgasm. Bone marrow is the center of human life!

My hormones are OUT OF CONTROL. Please tell me this will go with pregnancy!!!!!!!!! I am a wreak and my poor husband thinks I am crazy. I just cry, cry, cry. I am 36weeks and the baby is always hurting me (ALWAYS) and I hate being pregnant. I lose sleep and have the worst day the next day! HELP!

Early in my pregnancy I had a bloodclot in my placenta. After that I began having horrible anxiety attacks. Then I became severely depressed where I was detached from my baby. It was awful. I cried and cried then I worried what was happening to the baby with all the crying. Now that he is born I am still depressed because I was like this at his birth and felt like it was my fault and could have done something to prevent it. Just looking for answers and anyone else who has been through this awful nightmare.

I am 22 weeks along, and wonder if anyone else has experienced this. Before becoming pregnant, I had been on Prozac and Klonopin for GAD and depression. I am 27, and have had these disorders since age 14 (GAD since childhood). None of it is due to enviromental factors, I had a great childhood and life but internally I was always a wreck for no apparant reason. Since I became pregnant, almost all my symptoms are gone. I feel fantastic, and I am on no medication. Has anyone ever heard of this? Now I am wondering if my problems were caused by either a hormone or vitamin deficiency (I take prenatal vitamins and my iron pills daily). I am so relaxed and peaceful, and everyone around me notices as well.
What do I do after the baby comes to stay this way?

I feel like I may have GAD. I have had unexplained headaches for the last 8 months. Almost daily. I have terrible tension in my neck and shoulders constantly. I am unable to relax. I worry constantly (excessively) that something bad will happen to me or my family. I can’t go to banks except the drive through and even then I have this horrible fear of being robbed. I can’t go to gas stations or grocery stores at night by myself. I can’t go hardly anywhere just me and my baby because I feel so vulnerable. Like an easy target. (this started when I was in my last trimester) I check door locks. I can’t sleep at night because I wake up at ever little sound and check locks and windows and look out the blinds or check on the baby (only when my husband is out of town). I didn’t used to be this bad. My only issue before was I couldn’t get up in front of people and talk. I would have a panic attack. I dropped out of college because they told me I couldn’t graduate without public speaking. I used to be able to jog at night alone in my neighborhood. I can hardly do it during the day now. I feel like somebody will try to abduct me or something horrible. Its quite dibilitating. However, I’m able to go to work and function well and when I’m not home alone, I do fine. I’m a good wife and mother. I keep a spotless, organized home. I’m not depressed at all. I’ve never had ill thoughts of my baby. Which is why I lean toward GAD and not post partum. My son is just over a year old and I didn’t think post partum lasted this long. I never got the blues. Its just this anxiety about being hurt or my baby being hurt. I avoid so many basic situations because I will panic. When my husband is gone and I have to run to walmart at night to pick up something I will almost RUN to my car out of fear. Its horrible and I don’t know why it started to get bad during my pregnancy. I know you say “just go to a doctor” but that is another cause of so much stress. I have over 7400 in medical bills between the birth and then the ridiculous headaches I started having about 6 months post partum. If I were to sever my arm I wouldn’t want to go to the doc because I’m SO sick of medical bills. I hate to owe money to anybody. It stresses me out. My husband and I are not well off. We have a small savings but live generally paycheck to paycheck so shelling out 4200 bucks within 9 months is alot of money to us. I also dont’ want to have to take some medication daily. I was on zoloft for about 6 minutes years ago for pmdd and hated it. Tried topomax and felt like a zombie. I on’t need medicine every day. I just need medicine on the nights my husband is gone, or if I have to run errands alone or something like that. I’m also easily irritated. I have road rage. I stay keyed up and on edge most of the time. What do you think?

11 yrs. ago, a doctor told me I won’t be able to have kids. I just found out today that I’m 13 weeks pregnant. Now I’m EXTRA nervous because I keep constantly worrying, being afraid. Wondering, “What if I have a miscarriage?” How can I stop this irrational negative self-talk?

Ever since I found out that I was going to have to have my baby in Jackson ,MS (thats about a 4 hour drive) I have been having these attacks. At first i didn’t know what was happening I just thought I was sick. but after the 2nd one I called my doctor and told them my symptoms they said it sounded like anxiety attacks. they prescribed me some vistaril but it doesn’t help it only puts me to sleep and the next day I’m groggy all day. I just can’t take those. My question is what should I ask doctor to give me. I have had 3 attacks in 2 weeks and i need something i can take on the spot like whenever i feel my nerves going haywire. also i’m 32 weeks pregnant. any advice would be a big help. i see my doctor tomarrow.
my baby has a small blockage somewhere between her kidney and bladder that is causing a backup of urine and the only pediatric uroligist in the state is in Jackson
