Hey guys. I'm new here. I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks about a month or so ago. I am 11 1/2 weeks pregnant and am still seeking a therapist as my OB isn't agreeable with the idea of meds. Today is a REALLY bad day. I have been struggling with what feels like a constant, mild panic attack since 2:30 (5 1/2 hours). Is this normal? I feel as though I'm wanting to close in on myself and roll into a ball, feel like the world itself is closing in on me, and can feel my heartbeat, even though my pulse is at a safe level (checked) throughout my trunk, chest and neck, like my whole body is just throbbing, ya know? I'm really new to anxiety/panic and it's symptoms and all that it entails. I'm just scared, because I'm pregnant. I feel that there is a lot of stressful things in my life right now and it's all just piling up and I feel totally lost as to how to cope until I get in with a therapist.
